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.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56309923578229,"sku":"9783031062001","price":119.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9783031062001.jpg?v=1762813901","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9783031062001","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
