Palgrave Studies in Nineteenth-Century Writing and Culture General Editor: Joseph Bristow, Professor of English, UCLA

Palgrave Studies in Nineteenth-Century Writing and Culture is a new monograph series that aims to represent the most innovative research on literary works that were produced in the Englishspeaking world from the time of the Napoleonic Wars to the fin de siècle. Attentive to the historical continuities between ‘Romantic’ and ‘Victorian’, the series will feature studies that help scholarship to reassess the meaning of these terms during a century marked by diverse cultural, literary and political movements. The main aim of the series is to look at the increasing influence of types of historicism on our understanding of literary forms and genres. It reflects the shift from critical theory to cultural history that has affected not only the period 1800–1900 but also every field within the discipline of English literature. All titles in the series seek to offer fresh critical perspectives and challenging readings of both canonical and non-canonical writings of this era. Titles include: Eitan Bar-Yosef and Nadia Valman (editors) ’THE JEW’ IN LATE-VICTORIAN AND EDWARDIAN CULTURE Between the East End and East Africa Heike Bauer ENGLISH LITERARY SEXOLOGY Translations of Inversions, 1860–1930 Katharina Boehm BODIES AND THINGS IN NINETEENTH-CENTURY LITERATURE AND CULTURE Katharina Boehm CHARLES DICKINS AND THE SCIENCES OF CHILDHOOD Popular Medicine, Child Health and Victorian Culture Luisa Calè and Patrizia Di Bello (editors) ILLUSTRATIONS, OPTICS AND OBJECTS IN NINETEENTH-CENTURY LITERARY AND VISUAL CULTURES Deirdre Coleman and Hilary Fester (editors) MINDS, BODIES, MACHINES, 1770–1930 Eleanor Courtemanche THE ’INVISIBLE HAND’ AND BRITISH FICTION, 1818–1860 Adam Smith, Political Economy, and the Genre of Realism Stefano Evangelista BRITISH AESTHETICISM AND ANCIENT GREECE Hellenism, Reception, Gods in Exile Trish Ferguson (editor) VICTORIAN TIME Technologies, Standardizations, Catastrophes Margot Finn, Michael Lobban and Jenny Bourne Taylor (editors) LEGITIMACY AND ILLEGITIMACY IN NINETEENTH-CENTURY LAW, LITERATURE AND HISTORY
