However, the study of the ways in which the Victorian age has been revised by contemporary authors does not only entail analogies with the present but proves - by introducing what is perhaps a more pertinent description of the nineteenth century - that it was much more 'deviant' than it is usually depicted and perceived. Deviance in Neo-Victorian Culture: Canon, Transgression, Innovation explores a wide variety of textual forms, from novels to TV series, from movies and graphic novels to visual art. The scholarly and educational purpose of this study is to stimulate readers to approach neo-Victorianism as a complex cultural phenomenon. 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y20th century 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y21st century 606 $aContemporary Literature 606 $aTwentieth-Century Literature 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 14$aContemporary Literature. 615 24$aTwentieth-Century Literature. 676 $a820.9 700 $aTomaiuolo$b Saverio$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0602808 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300029303321 996 $aDeviance in Neo-Victorian Culture$91910325 997 $aUNINA
