    Marquette University e-Publications@Marquette Dissertations (2009 -) Dissertations, Theses, and Professional Projects A Victorian Christmas in Hell: Yuletide Ghosts and Necessary Pleasures in the Age of Capital Brandon Chitwood Marquette University Recommended Citation Chitwood, Brandon, "A Victorian Christmas in Hell: Yuletide Ghosts and Necessary Pleasures in the Age of Capital" (2012). Dissertations (2009 -). Paper 181. http://epublications.marquette.edu/dissertations_mu/181 A VICTORIAN CHRISTMAS IN HELL: YULETIDE GHOSTS AND NECESSARY PLEASURES IN THE AGE OF CAPITAL by Brandon Chitwood A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School, Marquette University, in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Milwaukee, Wisconsin May 2012 ABSTRACT A VICTORIAN CHRISTMAS IN HELL: YULETIDE GHOSTS AND NECESSARPLEASURES IN THE AGE OF CAPITAL Brandon Chitwood Marquette University, 2012 This dissertation explores how the cultural and literary development – one might argue, creation – of a specifically Victorian Christmas arose in response to social anxieties related to the expansion of industrial capitalism, Darwinian theories of evolution, and the increasingly problematic definition of the family during the nineteenth century in Britain. Using a Lacanian psychoanalytic lens, the dissertation explores how the liminal figure of the ghost pervades the literary narrativization of the Christmas holiday, and how such ghosts provided uncanny comforts to a reading public increasingly horrified by social, economic, and natural forces seemingly beyond their control. The dissertation argues that the success of the literary institution of Christmas as a necessary assurance of cultural pleasure in the face of social anxiety has made it perhaps the most long-lived of Victorian artifacts. Indeed, the importance of Christmas to our late capitalist present suggests post-modernity is not so far removed from Victorian sensibilities as we might suspect.
