The Sleight of Hand: Appearance and Disappearance of Things in Neo-Victorian Magic.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 nineteenth century continue to shape our present understanding of things.Literature, Modern19th centuryLiterature, Modern20th centuryLiterature, Modern21st centuryMotion picturesNineteenth-Century LiteratureContemporary LiteratureAudio-Visual CultureLiterature, Modern19th century.Literature, Modern20th century.Literature, Modern21st century.Motion pictures.Nineteenth-Century Literature.Contemporary Literature.Audio-Visual Culture.306.1809.38766Maier Sarah E.Ayres BrendaDove Danielle MariannMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910584486703321Neo-Victorian things2998388UNINA
