Here is presented for the first time an extended analysis of the conjunction of neo-Victorian fiction and trauma discourse, highlighting the significant interventions in collective memory staged by the belated aesthetic working-through of historical catastrophes, as well as their lingering traces in the present. The neo-Victorian?s privileging of marginalised voices and its contestation of master-narratives of historical progress construct a patchwork of competing but equally legitimate versions of the past, highlighting on-going crises of existential extremity, truth and meaning, nationhood and subjectivity. This volume will be of interest to both researchers and students of the growing field of neo-Victorian studies, as well as scholars in memory studies, trauma theory, ethics, and heritage studies. It interrogates the ideological processes of commemoration and forgetting and queries how the suffering of cultural and temporal others should best be represented, so as to resist the temptations of exploitative appropriation and voyeuristic spectacle. Such precarious negotiations foreground a central paradox: the ethical imperative to bear after-witness to history?s silenced victims in the face of the potential unrepresentability of extreme suffering. 410 0$aNeo-Victorian series ;$v1. 606 $aEnglish fiction$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEnglish fiction$y21st century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aHistorical fiction, English$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLiterature and history$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aLiterature and history$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y21st century 607 $aGreat Britain$xHistory$yVictoria, 1837-1901$xHistoriography 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEnglish fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEnglish fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aHistorical fiction, English$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aLiterature and history$xHistory 615 0$aLiterature and history$xHistory 676 $a823.08109 701 $aKohlke$b Marie-Luise$0922167 701 $aGutleben$b Christian$0922168 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910458773403321 996 $aNeo-Victorian tropes of trauma$92215013 997 $aUNINA
