{"product_id":"9783031062001","title":"Neo-Victorian Things : Re-Imagining Nineteenth-Century Material Cultures in Literature and Film","description":"\u003cp\u003e§16§§Neo-Victorian Things: Re-Imagining Nineteenth-Century Material Cultures in Literature and Film is the first volume to focus solely on the replication, reconstruction, and re-presentation of Victorian things. It investigates the role of materiality in contemporary returns to the past as a means of assessing the function of things in remembering, revisioning, and\/or reimagining the nineteenth century. Examining iterations of material culture in literature, film and popular television series, this volume offers a reconsideration of nineteenth-century things and the neo-Victorian cultural forms that they have inspired, animated, and even haunted. By turning to new and relatively underexplored strands of neo-Victorian materiality-including opium paraphernalia, slave ships, clothing, and biographical objects-and interrogating the critical role such objects play in reconstructing the past, this volume offers ways of thinking about how mis\/apprehensions of material culture in the nine §16§teenth century continue to shape our present understanding of things.§§§§ §04§§1.
