Beskrivelse af Drawing on the Victorians
Late nineteenth-century Britain experienced an unprecedented explosion of visual print culture and a simultaneous rise in literacy across social classes. New printing technologies facilitated quick and cheap dissemination of imagesΓÇöillustrated books, periodicals, cartoons, comics, and ephemeraΓÇöto a mass readership. This Victorian visual turn prefigured the present-day impact of the Internet on how images are produced and shared, both driving and reflecting the visual culture of its time.
From this starting point, Drawing on the Victorians sets out to explore the relationship between Victorian graphic texts and todayΓÇÖs steampunk, manga, and other neo-Victorian genres that emulate and reinterpret their predecessors. Neo-Victorianism is a flourishing worldwide phenomenon, but one whose relationship with the texts from which it takes its inspiration remains underexplored.
In this collection, scholars from literary studies, cultural studies, and art history consider contemporary worksΓÇöAlan MooreΓÇÖs League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Moto NaokoΓÇÖs Lady Victorian, and Edward GoreyΓÇÖs Gashlycrumb Tinies, among othersΓÇöalongside their antecedents, from PunchΓÇÖs 1897 Jubilee issue to Alice in Wonderland and more. They build on previous work on neo-Victorianism to affirm that the past not only influences but converses with the present.
