Reviews

What is exciting about the book is that it succeeds in breaking new critical ground by way of theme and primary material discussed. It provides timely address to questions of ethics raised by neo-Victorianism's appropriation of the past together with innovative analyses of texts that may yet have received little critical discussion in relation to the field. - Kim Bryndle, OScholars 2012 The volume is outstanding and undoubtedly represents a landmark for the study of Neo-Victorian fiction. - Isabel M. Andres Cuevas, University of Granada, in: Miscelanea: a Journal of English and American Studies 44, 2011, pp. 161-6 The volume covers an important gap in the state of the art in neo-Victorian studies, as it offers in-depth analyses, from the perspective of trauma theory, of a significant number of neo-Victorian fictions published between the 1960s and the present...running all the spectrum from the collective physical and psychological traumas associated with the armed conflicts and the spread of Empire, to individual and more covert family traumas, like incest, or ideological traumas related to the confrontation of religious belief and Darwinian science. - Susana Onega, University of Zaragoza, Spain
