Publisher Synopsis
With her characteristic verve, honesty, and insight, Cora Kaplan shakes out simple nostalgia and received ideas through fresh, utterly absorbing and entertaining readings of authors, artists and film-makers. Kaplan listens in to the past for its present resonances, and her Victorian voices sound vigorous, very close, and vividly engaged with the vexed questions of today - exclusion, maleness, beauty, and female sexual expression. -- Marina Warner, novelist and critic, Professor of Literature at the University of Essex Victoriana is a thrilling and searching book, exploring our contemporary fascination with the 'bulging archive' of recycled Victorian material, and the contradictory sets of feelings, including Kaplan's own, that drive this compulsion. In her hands "Victoriana" becomes a new analytic category investigated with subtle theoretical insight and deep imaginative integrity, wit and passion. -- Isobel Armstrong FBA, Birkbeck, University of London [An] incisive, lively collection of essays.
