Ann Heilmann & Mark Llewellyn 
Neo-Victorianism [PDF ebook] 
The Victorians in the Twenty-First Century, 1999-2009

This field-defining book offers an interpretation of the recent figurations of neo-Victorianism published over the last ten years. Using a range of critical and cultural viewpoints, it highlights the problematic nature of this ‘new’ genre and its relationship to re-interpretative critical perspectives on the nineteenth century.
