The Aesthetics of Interest and the Irish Question
Focusing on famine novels by William Carleton and Anthony Trollope and drawing upon Sianne Ngai's account of aesthetic categories, this article questions how the “interesting,” as an aesthetic category, accommodates cultural difference and distance, on one hand, and demonstrates how material interests shape and delimit the expansion of the public sphere, on the other. It argues that Irish novels present Ireland as aesthetically interesting insofa…
Strange Forms
In Estranging the Novel: Poland, Ireland, and Theories of World Literature, Katarzyna Bartoszyńska studies strange novels from Poland and Ireland to question histories of the novel that emphasize the rise of realism. Instead of thinking about what these novels are—realist or romance, Polish or Irish, fact or fiction—she considers what these novels do. In the process, she offers a compelling formalist analysis of Polish and Irish novels that demon…

These anachronisms—untimely chronologies, obsolete practices, and …

Public Humanities' (Victorian) Culture Problem
Questioning scholars who claim that the public humanities are the future of the humanities, this article argues that contemporary public humanities initiatives reproduce Victorian cultural logics by reinforcing divisions between popular and national culture, defining democracy through the state and state institutions and maintaining social inequality while perpetuating imperialism. It contends that like Victorian cultural critics, especially Matt…
Untimely Development, Ugly History
This article considers the politics and aesthetics of the colonial Bildungsroman by reading George Moore's often-overlooked novel A Drama in Muslin (1886). It argues that the colonial Bildungsroman does not simply register difference from the metropolitan novel of development or express tension between the core and periphery, as Jed Esty suggests, but rather can imagine a heterogeneous historical time that does not find its end in the nation-stat…
