What connects #Neo-Victorian studies and #Singapore? More than you might think! Check out Maria Szafrańska-Chmielarz's short introduction to the traces of the Victorian past you can find in this amazing city! qaqv.ia.uw.edu.pl/victorian-ec...

The Remnants of the British Empire

As a member of QAQV who got a chance to visit the city, I found myself not only eagerly learning everything I could but also noting down all the instances of the Victorian past that I came across.

Our brilliant PhD students have organised a conference - Placing the Nineteenth Century - and you’re all invited! Friday 26th June CFP deadline: Friday 1st May We’re all excited for our keynote speaker, @drclaireocall.bsky.social 🤩 Please share - and send us an abstract!

Placing the Nineteenth Century: A PGR/ECR conference Friday 26th June 2026 Image of Blackpool Edge Hill Nineteen research centre is excited to invite you to 'Placing the Nineteenth Century', a PGR/ECR conference focused on the North (West) of England in nineteenth-century literature and history. London and the South have often been the heart of discussion about the nineteenth century. However, development in industry during the period brought popularity to cities such as Liverpool and Manchester, which led to a boom of industrial growth in the north of England. In the nineteenth century, the north of England developed like never before, both within cities and in more rural areas.

It's nearing 20 years since the last comparable volume on Gaskell was published (2007's Cambridge Companion), & I think in this case a new burst of critical attention to one of the most subtle & enjoyable of Victorian novelists is very much overdue.

Some exciting book post today - I received my contributor copy of The Routledge Companion to Elizabeth Gaskell, edited brilliantly by Lizzie Ludlow & Rebecca Styler! 👇 (1/4)
