520 | |a A series of astute critical reflections on our enduring fascination with all things Victorian.In this book Cora Kaplan looks at the politics of 'Victoriana' from the 1970s to the present, a politics that emerges from the alternation between nostalgia and critique in fiction, film, biography and literary studies.
