- Episode 39: Valentina Gaio - Victorian (and Current) Attitudes to Slum/Working Class DietsIn this episode I'm joined by Valentina Gaio. Like myself, Valentina's research interests are broad, from popular culture to crime and horror, and we initially discuss the contemporary 18th century media depiction of the French Revolution. Our main topic today, however, centres on Victorian views of food (specifically slum inhabitants' diets), and the similarities to contemporary 21st century food campaigns. Specifically, we focus on Valentina's study on Jamie Oliver's public campaign, and how Victorian/19th century attitudes towards poverty, disadvantaged communities, diet, and how to help marginalised people maybe have not changed as much as we might initially imagine About my guest: Valentina is a PhD student at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario, who's currently preparing for her comprehensive exams. Her field of interest is Modern Popular Culture with a focus on crime and horror. She is interested in queer themes, social structures and hierarchies, and grief. She is currently working on an investigation of contemporary English reporting of the French Revolution. In addition to her academic work, she is an editor of the literary journal The Lamp and a prose writer. She received her BA in Modern Foreign Cultures and Languages at the University of Parma, her MA in English Studies at the University of Venice, and her MFA in Creative Writing from the University of St Andrews in Scotland For more information on Valentina's work, check out the details below: Instagram: @popcompromp https://queensges.wordpress.com/reps/ "Let Them Eat Nuggets": https://20vg41.wixsite.com/thedoldrums/post/let-them-eat-nuggets Check out Valentina's suggestions: (lInks to these can all be found in Valentina's article above) Love and Toil: Motherhood in Outcast London by Ellen Rosson"Food and the Cooking of the Working Class about 1900" by Eunice Schofield"The provision of school meals since 1906: progress or a recipe for disaster?" by Alan Finch"Jamie Oliver's War on Nuggets" by Dan Olson Sunless Skies, a Lovecraftian videogame with a Neo-Victorian setting.

- Episode 38: Dr Danielle Dove - Victorian/Neo-Victorianism and Material and Dress CultureIn this episode I'm joined by Dr Danielle Dove, whose research focuses on dress and fashion history, material culture, and literary celebrity. We consider how dress can be linked to the uncanny, utilising new materialism and object-oriented ontology theories to explore the idea that objects (such as items of dress) have a form of agency, and how neo-Victorian sartorial objects seem to have an impact or effect on the protagonists. Particularly, they often have a form of memory (physical or psychological) of past wearers. We think about how second hand or vintage clothes evoke memories of the Victorian period, and the wearers who came before us. We consider the continued fascination with period dress, despite the impracticalities of wearing some of those outfits today, and the enduring legacy of the 19th century in relation to dress and material culture. About my guest: Dr Danielle Dove is Lecturer in Nineteenth-Century Literature at the University of Surrey. Her research and publications centre on Victorian and neo-Victorian literature with a specific emphasis on dress and fashion history, material culture, and literary celebrity. She is the co-editor of Neo-Victorian Things: Re-Imagining Nineteenth-Century Material Cultures in Literature and Film (2022, Palgrave Macmillan) and is currently working on her monograph provisionally titled Victorian Dress in Contemporary Historical Fiction (forthcoming with Bloomsbury).

- Victorian Legacies Nov 5 · 44m Episode 37: Céleste Callen: Dickens, Bergson, and TemporalityIn this episode I'm joined by Céleste Callen, who researches into time and temporal experience in 19th century literature. Specifically, we discuss her PhD which utilises the works of Henri Bergson as a lens through which to read the works of Charles Dickens. We discuss how for Bergson, time is a subjective experience rather than linear, and how this impacts on the standard novel construction, in addition to narrative voice (such as in David Copperfield). We think about how time became more standardised and important for the Victorians (and other 19th century societies), with the introduction of the railways, Greenwich Mean Time, all of which show how temporality intersected with (and impacted from) modernity. We discuss how the pandemic impacted our sense of time, and how the 19th century constructions (such as working weeks, timetables etc) endure in different ways today. About my guest: Céleste Callen is a PhD candidate at the University of Edinburgh. Her research interests revolve around time and subjective temporal experience in nineteenth-century fiction. She holds a BA in English from King’s College London, where she wrote a dissertation exploring the deconstructed boundaries between childhood and adulthood in Dickens and Barrie. Her postgraduate dissertation explored the self's relationship to time in the works of Balzac, Stevenson and Wilde, which inspired her current doctoral project. Her PhD research explores subjective temporal experience in Dickens’ fiction, and more specifically argues that Dickens anticipates modern philosophy’s conception of temporal experience by reading his fiction through the lens of French philosopher Henri Bergson’s philosophy of time.

- Episode 36 - Dracula Vibes RoundtableIn this episode I'm joined by a special panel: Dr Madeline Potter, Theadora Jean, and Dr Daniel Kasper, who all research into Gothic literature (specifically, Dracula!) We discuss how their interest in Dracula began, and the different academic (and side) projects they have worked on. We focus on the positive and negative aspects of adaptations, and the assumptions we have (perhaps incorrectly gained) about the Dracula figure. Discussions also include ideas of monstrosity and how this is not reflected in adaptations; ideas of cultural sensitivity, especially when considering the Romanian folklore and setting, and whether the novel can be considered feminist. TRIGGER WARNING: This episode features discussions around sexual assault/rape, and references to racism in literature. About the panel: Madeline Potter is a postdoctoral fellow at Edge Hill University’s EHU19. She works on Irish Gothic literature and theology. Her first academic monograph, ‘Theological Monsters: Religion and Irish Gothic’ will be published by University of Wales Press, and she is currently editing a collection on vampires and theology. Theadora Jean is a Gothic scholar and writer. She is currently studying for a Critical & Creative Writing PhD at the Royal Holloway, University of London, on the 'New Woman' in Dracula. Her own gothic tales are published under a pseudonym, T.S.J. Harling. Daniel Kasper is an English Instructor at the University of Texas Arlington. He studies a wide range of Gothic texts including Dracula, with specific interests in feminist and biopolitical studies. He's been most recently published in Women’s Studies and Shirley Jackson: A Companion For more information on our panel, check out the details below: Thea's Twitter: @theadorajean / @tsjharling Thea's writing portfolio: https://tsjharling.squarespace.com/ Listen with Audrey: https://www.listenwithaudrey.com/ Check out the panel's suggestions: Sheridan Le Fanu: Carmilla; Uncle Silas Bram Stoker: The Jewel of Seven Stars; The Lair of the White Worm Midnight Mass - Netflix show Florence Marryat: The Blood of the Vampire Uriah Derick D'Arcy : The Black Vampyre: A Legend of St Domingo Episode Credits: Episode Writer, Editor and Producer: Emma Catan Music: Burning Steaks (by Stationary Sign) - obtained via EpidemicSound Check us out at the following social media pages and websites!

- Episode 35- Dr Tom Ue - George GissingIn this episode I'm joined by Dr Tom Ue, who has researched into authors such as George Gissing, Oscar Wilde, Arthur Conan Doyle, and Edward Prime-Stevenson. We begin by discussing how Tom developed his PhD from his previous studies into George Gissing, and how Gissing's diaries show how well-read and well-connected he was. We consider Gissing's shift from working-class writing, and the ethical issues that still exist today surrounding writing about disadvantaged people, and possibly for them, rather than giving them agency. We marvel at how a nineteenth-century author like Gissing recognised this problem, and how this is a legacy that continues to be unpacked and challenged. About my guest: Dr Tom Ue is Assistant Professor in Literature and Science at Dalhousie University. He is the author of Gissing, Shakespeare, and the Life of Writing (Edinburgh University Press, forthcoming) and George Gissing (Liverpool University Press, forthcoming); the editor of George Gissing, The Private Papers of Henry Ryecroft (Edinburgh University Press, forthcoming); and an editor of the journal Global Nineteenth-Century Studies (Liverpool University Press, 2022-present). Ue has held the prestigious Frederick Banting Postdoctoral Fellowship and he is an Honorary Research Associate at University College London.

- Episode 34- Dr Louise Creechan - Nineteenth Century Legacies of Education and the AcademyIn this episode I'm joined by Dr Louise Creechan, who has researched into Victorian and Neo-Victorian Studies. We begin by discussing her PhD in illiteracy and how the nineteenth century saw the rise of mass literacy in England, and the creation of 'normative' standards of achievement. This coincided with capitalist models for a 'productive workforce.' We think about this persists today, with funding dependent on school grades' success, and also how the hierarchical nature of the academy can limit potential for neurodiverse people, and other academics who may have barriers such as dyslexia. We consider the legacies of Victorian systems on class structures and social inequality, and also look at innovative approaches such as Louise's forthcoming monograph, and her funded Neo-Victorian musicals projects, which were a great form of public engagement. About my guest: Dr Louise Creechan is a Lecturer in the Literary Medical Humanities at Durham University, specialising in Victorian literature, neurodiversity, and the history of (not) reading. She is an AHRC/BBC New Generation Thinker and her current project, The Legacy of the Dunce’s Hat, is about how the Victorians quantified stupidity and how these ideas saturate our current understandings of intelligence. She is the co-founder of the Narratives of Neurodiversity Network and she is also working on an edited collection, (Neuro)Divergent Textualities, that will attempt to define what a neurodivergent approach to literary scholarship would look like. Louise is also queen of the musicals and has published on and staged various Neo-Victorian musicals in the name of public engagement. She is also the co-host of the academic comedy podcast, LOL My Praxis.

- Episode 33- Dr Richard Jorge Fernandez - Irish Gothic, Galician Literature, and the Problem of LanguageIn this episode I'm joined by Dr Richard Jorge Fernández, who researches into the nineteenth-century Irish Gothic, especially the short story. We talk about how his interest in Irish literature began, and also about his current project which compares Galician literature and Irish literature, due to his own roots, and the similarities in these regions. We think about the issues colonial countries face, as well as immigrants and second-generation immigrants. Specifically, we consider how language comes into play, such as conflicting feelings about parent languages, how people react to hearing different accents, all of which play into the Othering concept. We discuss how these ideas were present in both 19th century contexts and today, and the importance of recognising privilege, and how literature can challenge this. About my guest: Richard Jorge Fernández received his BA in English Studies at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) and later on proceeded to enhance his knowledge in the field of literature with an MA in Anglo-Irish Literature and Drama at University College Dublin, where his minor thesis on the relation of Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu and the Gothic tradition was supervised by Declan Kiberd. He completed his PhD at the University of Santiago de Compostela researching the relationship between the short story and the Irish Gothic tradition in the writings of James Clarence Mangan, Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu and Bram Stoker. He is currently teaching at the Department of Philology in the University of Cantabria.

- Episode 32- Manon Burz-Labrande - The Circulation of Penny Bloods and Penny DreadfulsIn this episode I'm joined by Manon Burz-Labrande, who researches into the circulation of penny bloods and penny dreadfuls. We talk about how her research looks at how there are issues around canonicity, due to many publications being hidden still, meaning we return to the 'classics' . We observe how there were different ways of circulation beyond publishing, and how contemporary sources like Henry Mayhew reported on this. This leads to the different ways of consuming stories, communal reading, giving and lending books, and oral storytelling traditions. About my guest: Manon Burz-Labrande is a doctoral researcher and lecturer at the University of Vienna, Austria. Specialising in Victorian popular literature and culture, her PhD focuses on the exploration of the concept of circulation in and of the penny bloods and penny dreadfuls, through a literary and cultural analysis of their literary content, the discourses they triggered in nineteenth-century criticism, their place in the Victorian literary landscape and their circulation into Neo-Victorian fiction. She has written articles and reviews for Victorian Popular Fictions Journal, Polysèmes, Revenant Journal and Wilkie Collins Journal, entries for the Palgrave Encyclopedia of Victorian Women’s Writing (ed. Lesa Scholl), and two chapters in upcoming edited collections on Victorian popular fiction. Her broader research interests include sound studies and the Gothic, and in 2021 she co-edited a special issue for Short Fiction in Theory & Practice entitled “More than Meets the Ear: Sound & Short Fiction.” She is also the managing editor of the forthcoming London’s East End: A Short Encyclopedia, edited by Kevin A. Morrison (McFarland, 2022).

- Victorian Legacies Jul 9 · 37m Episode 31- Azza Hussen - Charles Dickens and 19th century dream theoryIn this episode I'm joined by Azza Hussen, who researches into the works of Charles Dickens. We talk about how her resarch looks at how Dickens' work engaged with or challenged contemporary 19th century dream theories, in novels like Oliver Twist, Dombey and Son. We observe how some 19th century dream theories had a moralistic viewpoint, in that moral people couldn't have bad dreams. About my guest: Azza is a second year PhD student at the University of Leicester, researching Dickens and nineteenth century dream theories .

- Episode 30 - Alora Hayward - Victorian Representations of Gender, Class and SexualityIn this episode I'm joined by Alora Hayward, who researches into Victorian literary works such as Christina Rossetti, George Gissing, Amy Levy and Charlotte Bronte. We talk about academic study in the pandemic and how this has helped us to reevaluate things, and also how nineteenth century attitudes towards gender, class and sexuality can be reflected today. About my guest: Alora Hayward graduated from The University of Winnipeg with her Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in June 2021 and is a current MA student at Queen’s University finishing up her degree. She will be graduating in the latter half of 2022. Alora considers herself to be a junior scholar whose research interests are: Victorian Prose and Poetry, Gender and Sexuality, Class, The New Woman, The Fallen Woman, The Odd Woman, and The Woman Question. Though Alora is not completing her PhD in academia, she is pursuing her love of creative writing by applying for PhD’s in the UK for the 2023 year. Her focus in that area is creative non-fiction, and free-verse poetry.

- Episode 29 - Caterina Liberace - The Victorian Haunted HouseIn this episode I'm joined by Caterina Liberace, who researches into the use of Victorian architecture and décor in twentieth and twenty-first century Gothic horror. We consider how the archetypal haunted house we now associate as a Gothic house, is an trans-Atlantic incarnation, and emerged after WWII. We think about how the country house exemplifies this, and how the house also acts as a vampiric institution, creating opportunities to think about how this space is represented in literature. About my guest: Caterina earned her BA in History and International Relations from George Washington University and an MA in European History at UCL; She currently in her final year of Modern British History MPhil at the University of Oxford, and she will start her PhD in the autumn.

- Episode 28 - Dr Eleanor Dobson - Ancient Egypt, and Egyptology in the 19th and 20th centuriesIn this episode I'm joined by Dr Eleanor Dobson, who researches into the reception of ancient Egypt during the 19th and 20th centuries. We discuss the centenary of Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon's discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb in 1922, and the stories around the famous 'curses'. We consider what 19th and 20th century Egyptologists were reading, and how they wrote their own stories. We consider how perceptions of the curses developed or changed in the 19th century onwards, and how ancient Egypt and curses are represented in 20th and 21st century films. About my guest: Dr Eleanor Dobson is Associate Professor of Nineteenth-Century Literature at the University of Birmingham. Her first book, Writing the Sphinx: Literature, Culture and Egyptology came out with Edinburgh University Press in 2020, and her second book, Victorian Alchemy: Science, Magic and Ancient Egypt, is out with UCL Press later this year For more information on Ellie's work, check out the details below: Check out Ellie's suggestions: The Extraordinary Adventures of Adèle Blanc-Sec (2010 movie) Louisa May Alcott - Lost in a Pyramid, or the Mummy's Curse Episode Credits: Episode Writer, Editor and Producer: Emma Catan Music: Burning Steaks (by Stationary Sign) - obtained via EpidemicSound Check us out at the following social media pages and websites!

- Episode 27 - Dr Barbara Franchi - Postcolonial Neo-Victorianism, and expanding the 'canon'In this episode I'm joined by Dr Barbara Franchi, who researches into neo-Victorian fiction, intertextuality and echoes of Empire. We consider issues such as the risks of nostalgia in society, and the enduring legacy of the 19th century in neo-Victorian works. We discuss the idea of a neo-Victorian 'canon' and how literature and critical scholarship is redefining this concept - as well as the whole genre of neo-Victorianism. We consider the roots of the field and genre in the reaction to Thatcherism, and how the British-centric approach is actually an Anglocentric one, and narrowed to a specific idea of Englishness. About my guest: Dr Barbara Franchi obtained her PhD in 2017 from the University of Kent, where she wrote a thesis on A. S. Byatt’s fiction and intertextuality. She holds a BA in Modern Languages and an MA in English and Postcolonial studies, both from the University of Venice (Italy). Her research focuses on contemporary women's writing, cultural memory, historical fiction, and echoes of Empire in all of the above: it is through these angles that she approaches neo-Victorianism. She has published book chapters and articles on neo-Victorian and neo-historical authors such as Byatt (in Sea Narratives, ed. Charlotte Mathieson: Palgrave 2016), Eleanor Catton (Partial Answers, 2018), Rose Tremain and Isabel Allende (Neo-Victorian Studies, 2019), and David Mitchell (with the Italian journal MediAzioni, 2019). Future publications include a chapter on Byatt’s The Children’s Book and Peacock and Vine (in Neo-Victorian Decadences, forthcoming within Rodopi’s Neo-Victorian series), and an article on the novelist’s short stories (in the Journal of the Short Story in English). She has also worked on travel studies, co-editing Crossing Borders in Victorian Travel: Spaces, Nations and Empires (Cambridge Scholars 2018, with Elvan Mutlu): the collection examines imperialism and intercultural crossovers in Victorian travel writing, covering travel accounts, fiction and journalism. She has taught at the Universities of Newcastle, Kent, and Canterbury Christ Church, and is now a Teaching Fellow at Durham University.

- Episode 26- Dr Dominique Gracia - Exploring Adaptations of the 19th Century DetectiveIn this episode I'm joined by Dr Dominique Gracia, who had worked on repetitions and revisions, and adaptation theory. We discuss the influence of Sherlock Holmes on modern TV detectives in series such as Sherlock and Vienna Blood. We observe the ways in which we see works through adaptations, and how neo-Victorian works may influence how we think or perceive the nineteenth century. We also discuss hidden stories about Victorian female detectives, and how Holmes' legacy persists today. About my guest: Dominique is an independent scholar who’s currently Chief of Staff for the Director of UCL’s Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose. Her research focuses on repetitions and revisions, from Dante Gabriel Rossetti’s double-works to the pot-boiling of popular fiction. Her most recent publications focus on early female detectives and Sherlock Holmes’ influence on modern TV detectives, and she is currently writing a collection of Neo-Victorian short stories featuring a Welsh female detective in East London.

- Victorian Legacies Apr 30 · 41m Episode 25- Deborah Siddoway - The Story of Divorce in 19th century society (and literature)In this episode I'm joined by Deborah Siddoway, who researches into how the nineteenth century English novel was both informed by and influenced the path of divorce law reform in England. We discuss how all her authors had complex relationships with marriage, and how this is reflected in their works. We also discuss how the no-fault divorce was ended at the time of recording, and how this changes a lot of things for people seeking divorces in England. We discuss her PhD progress, and also her podcast, The Story of Divorce, which tells the story to the background of divorce law in England, and explains the impetus behind the Divorce Act of 1857 finally being passed, making divorce more accessible in England with the establishment of the Divorce Court in London. About my guest: Deborah graduated with a BA and an LLB from Sydney University, and then worked as a legal researcher for the Honourable Justice Beazley of the Court of Appeal of New South Wales, before beginning her career as a dual-qualified solicitor in leading legal firms in both Sydney and London. She was awarded an MA by research in Dickens Studies with the University of Buckingham for her paper entitled The Twisting of the Ring: Dickens, Divorce and the Evolution of his Views on Marriage. She was awarded the 2019 Partlow Prize for her paper ‘Misfortnet Marriages’: Discussing Divorce in Household Words. She commenced her PhD part-time in 2020, where her research examines how the nineteenth century English novel was both informed by and influenced the path of divorce law reform in England, with a focus on the works of authors such as Mary Shelley, the Brontë sisters, Caroline Norton, George Eliot, Charles Dickens, and Wilkie Collins in the context of a specific consideration of the social and legal imperatives leading to the enactment of the Divorce and Matrimonial Causes Act of 1857, one of the most comprehensive and significant reforms of the archaic system governing the marital relationship of the era. She is a postgraduate representative on the advisory board for the Centre for Nineteenth Century Studies. Her podcast series, The Story of Divorce, tells the stories of the bigamists, the bastards, the feminists, and the fornicators that helped give us the law of divorce that exists in England today.

- Episode 24 - Dr Anna Gasperini - Child Nutrition in C19 English and Italian LiteratureIn this episode I'm joined by Dr Anna Gasperini, where we discuss her work on children's literature and child nutrition. We discuss how food in children's literature sublimates and represents a lot of things, including 'taboo' subjects. Children's literature was previously seen as unsophisticated in the academy (like fantasy), which segues into a brief chat about Terry Pratchett's Discworld! We then continue to consider how food was linked to the acceptable and unacceptable body and how that notion is constructed in society, reinforced or challenged in children's literature. The greedy child and the mal/nourished child, and how these both are seen as unacceptable within 19th century. Trigger warning for some dark children's literature. About my guest: Dr Anna Gasperini is a Postdoctoral Researcher at Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, Italy. She has just completed a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions research project on English and Italian nineteenth-century children’s literature and the history of child nutrition. Her most recent article on the topic, “The ‘Gluttonous Child’ Narrative in Italy and Britain: A Transnational Analysis”, has been published OA in the Journal of Victorian Culture. She is the author of Nineteenth Century Popular Fiction, Medicine, and Anatomy - The Victorian Penny Blood and the 1832 Anatomy Act (Palgrave Macmillan, 2019).

- Episode 23 - Michelle Ravenscroft - Identity Formation in Adolescents in C19 LiteratureIn this episode I'm joined by Michelle Ravenscroft, who has recently co-edited the third volume of the popular Talking Bodies series. We chat about our shared experience at Talking Bodies and how Michelle's MA thesis on identity formation in adolescents in the long 19th century literature was turned into a chapter. We also discuss her foundational stages of the PhD project she is working on, on the importance of the Portico Library in Manchester, through readings of The Manchester Man. We also share our love of interdisciplinarity as we debate why the nineteenth century continues to influence and fascinate society today. About my guest: Michelle Ravenscroft is an educational consultant and a second year part-time PhD candidate at Manchester Metropolitan University. Her research proposes to interrogate the importance of the Portico Library, Manchester, and the significance of Northern identity and place in the nineteenth-century text The Manchester Man.

- Episode 22 - Michelle Reynolds - The New Woman in fin de siècle illustrationIn this episode I'm joined by Michelle Reynolds, who researches into representations of the New Woman in fin de siècle illustration. We discuss how the New Woman was featured in art, specifically in illustration. We observe how fairy tales writers like Evelyn Sharp used these to push forward ideas about feminism, reflecting what was in New Woman fiction but aiming these ideas at children. We consider how such tales explored gender identity and dress, coinciding with how the New Woman's dress was seen as a threat to society (alongside demasculinised men and the dandy figure) About my guest: Michelle Reynolds is a PhD student at the University of Exeter. Her thesis looks at the relationship between the New Woman’s emergence and the professionalism of women illustrators at the British fin de siècle as well as the New Woman’s visual representation and how women illustrators contributed to this representation. More broadly, her research interests include art and literature of the long nineteenth century, women artists, gender and sexuality, print and exhibition culture, photography, and fashion. She is currently a Postgraduate Representative for the University of Exeter’s Centre for Victorian Studies and a Board Member for the journal Romance, Revolution and Reform based at the University of Southampton. Michelle also has an upcoming chapter in the Women in Power collection (edited by Dr Fern Riddell, Dr Emma Butcher, and Dr Bob Nicholson). Michelle's chapter will be in Volume 1: "Bodies: Female Agency, Identity and Sex in the 19th Century". This is due to be published by Bloomsbury Academic in early 2023!

- Episode 21 - Dr Clare Stainthorp - Freethought in the Nineteenth CenturyIn this episode I'm joined by Dr Clare Stainthorp, who researches into nineteenth-century atheist, secular and agnostic movements, and their periodical culture. We discuss how pamphlets and periodical culture helped not only to provide a space in which like-minded individuals could discuss freethought ideas, but enabled them to form a community and organise events. We discuss notable individuals such as Constance Naden, and also talk about the upcoming freehtought conference. About my guest: Dr Clare Stainthorp is a Leverhulme Trust Early Career Fellow in the Department of English at Queen Mary, University of London. She is primarily working on a new project about nineteenth-century atheist, secular, and agnostic movements and their periodicals. Her first book (which came out in 2019) was on the Victorian poet, atheist philosopher, and scientist Constance Naden, about whom she has also published in a range of other academic venues. Clare has co-edited a volume of primary sources titled ‘Disbelief and New Beliefs’ for a Routledge Historical Resource on Nineteenth-Century Religion, Literature and Culture, which came out in 2020. Other strands of her current research include nineteenth-century esotericism and the works of George Egerton, and freethought writing for children; more broadly, she is interested in Victorian women's poetry, the dialogue as a literary form, and interdisciplinarity in nineteenth-century Britain For more information on Clare's work, check out the details below: https://www.qmul.ac.uk/sed/staff/stainthorpc.html For details on the Freethought in the Long Nineteenth Century: New Perspectives conference: https://www.qmul.ac.uk/sed/events/freethought/ Check out Clare's suggestions: George Egerton - Keynotes (can be freely available via Archives.org) Episode Credits: Episode Writer, Editor and Producer: Emma Catan Music: Burning Steaks (by Stationary Sign) - obtained via EpidemicSound Check us out at the following social media pages and websites!

- Episode 20 - Laura Demaude - Gaslighting in Victorian and Neo-Victorian Gothic LiteratureIn this episode I'm joined by Laura Demaude, who is currently finishing her MA dissertation on gaslighting and the Gothic. We discuss how gaslighting is represented in Victorian and Neo-Victorian texts written by female authors (such as Bronte's Jane Eyre). We also note how physical gaslighting was used to influence this effect, especially in the film Gaslight. Our discussion also focuses on the importance of discussing literary representations of gaslighting, especially in the light of the #metoo movement. About my guest: Laura is an MA research student at the University of Lincoln, focusing on how gaslighting and physical lighting work together to oppress women and ‘make’ them into freaks in Gothic literature. She is fascinated by crowd psychology and the ways in which literature can, and does, influence the way we think, as well as in how these influences include and precede the Victorian era.

- Victorian Legacies Mar 12 · 41m Episode 19 - Duncan McNulty - Bartitsu in the 19th and 21st centuriesIn this episode I'm joined by Duncan McNulty, founder and provost of the Bartitsu and Antagonistics Forum (BAF) . We discuss how Bartitsu was founded by Barton Wright in the 19th century, how it is presented now within the BAF and other organisations. We consider how the 19th century is still relevant, within pursuits like Bartistu and within steampunk. We discuss the nostalgic element, and how English ideas of colonialism and importance is so ingrained in the English consciousness now. We also reminisce about Duncan's time-travelling wedding! About my guest: Duncan currently runs the Bartitsu & Antagonsitics Forum as well as leading the instruction at the weekly classes. He has the title Provost to denote organisational responsibilities rather than qualifications, he has always claimed to be a first among equals rather than a traditional instructor. Coordinating the efforts of the scholars so that the study group as a whole can continue to learn and advance. Whilst Duncan trained in sports fencing and archery during childhood and through University, his unarmed martial studies began in 2001. Training in Lau Gar Kung Fu and Kick-boxing in Dundee before moving to Newcastle and switching to Seven Star Praying Mantis Kung Fu and Qi Gong. Believing that Europe’s own martial history was being overlooked he decided to leave Eastern martial arts; turning instead to study Italian Rapier and English infantry sabre. During a weekend symposium Duncan got his first taste of Bartitsu and became hooked. Reading all he could get his hands on and getting anyone to who was willing and able to teach him, he developed a solid grounding in the martial art. In 2012 he gathered a group of like minded individuals together to set up a Bartitsu study group and so the Bartitsu & Antagonistics Forum was born.

- Episode 18 - Laure Nermel - Elizabeth Siddal and the Pre-Raphaelite MovementIn this episode I'm joined by Laure Nermel, who is finishing her PhD on Elizabeth Siddal,. We discuss how the Pre-Raphaelites are portrayed in Neo-Victorian fiction (novels, but also TV shows and plays), especially the women who were connected to the movement. We discuss the value of Siddal's work in her own right (not just as a model but as an artist and writer herself). About my guest: After a B.A in English literature at the Sorbonne, Laure went to Cape Town for a study exchange programme as a French tutor. Her Master’s dissertation focussed on Victorian visual arts, which enabled her to publish an article in the Journal des Arts about fairy painting.

- Episode 15 - Dr Éadaoin Agnew - Victorian Indian literatureIn this episode I'm joined by Dr Éadaoin Agnew, where we discuss her research into Victorian writers of colour (particularly within India, featuring writers who published in English).
