Stetz (University of Delaware) This is the first conference dedicated to the life and work of George Egerton, the nom de plume of Mary Chavelita Dunne (1859–1945). Egerton is often discussed in relation to New Woman writing and scholars have tended to focus on her first two short story collections, Keynotes (1893) and Discords (1894). This conference seeks to go beyond the parameters of her early works, with the aim of recovering her wider oeuvre and reassessing her wider contribution to fin de siècle and early 20th century literature and drama. Enquiries should be addressed to Dr Nick Freeman ([email protected]) and Dr Anne-Marie Beller ([email protected]). 2 Nineteenth-Century Matters: Public Engagement Training Day Chawton House Library 28 January 2017 Are you a PGR or ECR working on the long nineteenth century?

This will be a chance to offer short papers, or lead discussions or recent research, particularly with reference to developing collaborative projects and exchanging ideas on grant applications. This will be followed by an inaugural lecture. If you are interested in the networking day you can contact Dominic Janes directly on [email protected]. If you want to attend the lecture only, or in addition to coming to the research day, you may book at https://www.keele.ac.uk/publiclectures/ Inaugural Lecture ‘Who Invented Oscar Wilde? Adventures in the History of Sexuality’ Tuesday 25th April - 18:00 - Westminster Theatre, Keele University Dominic Janes has made a career out of scandal; or, rather, out of studying images and lives that were once found scandalous. ‘I do not say you are it, but you look it, and you pose at it, which is just as bad’, Lord Queensbury challenged Oscar Wilde in the courtroom—which erupted in laughter—and openly accusing Wilde of posing as a sodomite. Oscar Wilde Prefigured is Jane’s latest book. It is a study of the prehistory of this ‘queer moment’ in 1895. He has explored the complex ways in which men who desired sex with men in Britain expressed such interests through clothing, style, and deportment since the mid-eighteenth century. In this lecture he will tease out the means by which same-sex desires could be signalled through visual display in Georgian and Victorian Britain. Wilde, it turns out, was not the starting point for public queer figuration. He was the pivot by which Georgian figures and twentieth-century camp stereotypes meet. Drawing on the mutually reinforcing phenomena of dandyism and caricature of alleged effeminates, Dominic Janes will examine a wide range of images drawn from theatre, fashion, and the popular press to reveal new dimensions of identity politics, gender performance and queer culture. In this way he will continue his career- defining mission to push the boundaries of historical study and even, perhaps, shock, some of the more conservative cultural critics. 4 Consuming (the) Victorians: 2016 Annual Conference of the British Association for Victorian Studies Cardiff University, 31 August–2 September 2016 This year, some of the recipients of the BAVS Conference Bursary were asked to provide a conference report for the Newsletter. Further reflections on the conference can be found on the BAVS Researcher blog on the Victorianist website.

  • I SUGGESTIVE SILENCES: SEXUALITY and the AESTHETIC
    i SUGGESTIVE SILENCES: SEXUALITY AND THE AESTHETIC NOVEL A Dissertation Submitted to The Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree Ph. D. in English by Meredith L. Collins Examining Committee Members: Dr. Peter Logan, Advisor Temple University Department of English Dr. Priya Joshi Temple University Department of English Dr. Steven Newman Temple University Department of English Dr. Teresa Dolan Temple University Department of Art History Dr. Kate Thomas Bryn Mawr College, Department of English ii ABSTRACT This dissertation addresses how the philosophy, subculture, and sexuality of aestheticism interact with the form of the nineteenth-century novel. One primary result of this exploration is a nuanced delineation of the aesthetic novel in its formal characteristics, its content, and most notably, in the sexually charged silences that both this form and content reveal—silences made audible to invested aesthetic readers through coded doubleness. Through thus defining the aesthetic novel and seeking to articulate the unspoken sexual transgressions that are, as is argued, requisite therein, this project sheds new light both on the partially submerged sexuality of aestheticism as a movement, and on why novels account for so small a portion of the aesthetic movement’s output—topics first raised in part by Linda Dowling, Dennis Denisoff, and Talia Schaffer. By engaging Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray (1891), Vernon Lee’s Miss Brown (1884), Walter Pater’s Marius the Epicurean (1885), Robert Hichens' The Green Carnation (1894), John Meade Falkner’s The Lost Stradivarius (1895), and Aubrey Beardsley’s Venus and Tannhäuser (1895), this dissertation demonstrates that, whether politically engaged as affirmation or using sexuality as a way to communicate rejection of middle-class morality and its own fascination with the unusual, aestheticism defines itself by its inclusion of unusual sexual situations.

  • The Mechanics Institutes: Pioneers of Leisure and Excursion Travel by Susan Barton
    The Mechanics Institutes: Pioneers of Leisure and Excursion Travel by Susan Barton In July 1841, the excursion organised by Thomas Cook to a temperance rally in Loughborough 'took a trip into history'. Less well known than this famous journey are the pioneering rail excursions organised by the Mechanics' Institutes during the two preceding years. This paper is concerned with the story of the excursion undertaken by the Mechanics Institutes of Leicester and Nottingham during the summer of 1840. With the opening of the Midland Counties Railway in May 1840, there existed for the first time in the East Midlands a means of quick mass conveyance between the region's towns which enabled people to travel for leisure purposes in a manner without previous local precedent. The Mechanics utilised the potential of steam-powered rail travel to visit the exhibitions in Leicester and Nottingham in 1840. These exhibitions were organised by their respective Mechanic Institutes with the aim of providing education, entertainment and raising funds. The reciprocal visits between the two towns' were a tremendous success and provided inspiration for subsequent leisure excursions and the imminent development of the tourism industry. The Mechanics' Institutes were founded during the first half of the nineteenth century to promote education amongst skilled workers and artisans or 'mechanics'. Leicester's Institute was founded in 1833 and Nottingham's in 1837. They were concerned with education in the broadest possible sense, from basic instruction in literacy and numeracy to lectures on the latest scientific ideas. Education was not just about learning skills and facts, but involved cultural and personal development, hence the provision of libraries, classical music concerts, travel as well as the exhibitions with which this paper is concerned.

Yeats’s Queer Dramaturgies: Oscar Wilde, Narcissus, And Melancholy Masculinities In Calvary Zsuzsanna Balázs “Have you noticed that the Greek androgynous statue is always the woman in man, never the man in woman? It was made for men who loved men first.” —W. B. Yeats (L 875) avid Cregan has called Frank McGuinness the first Irish playwright to apply a distinctively queer dramaturgical epistemology in his plays.1 Yet it is less often acknowledged that Yeats’s drama also took signifi- Dcant steps towards creating space for an anti-normative and anti-authoritarian queer dramaturgy, and thus intervened in normative constructs of sexuality and gender, indirectly joining the sexual liberation and women’s emancipation movements of his time. This was predominantly the result of his collaborations with and inspirations from transgressive artists such as Florence Farr, Michio Itō, Sarah Bernhardt, Vaslav Nijinsky, and Loïe Fuller, as well as his manifold transcultural inspirations which defied sexual polarization and hyper-mascu- linity in favor of more illicit forms of eros and a gender-bending body ideal.

A SÉANCE ROOM OF ONE’S OWN: SPIRITUALISM, OCCULTISM, AND THE NEW WOMAN IN MID- TO LATE-NINETEENTH CENTURY SUPERNATURAL FICTION JAMIE SPEARS A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of Sunderland for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy June 2016 ABSTRACT This thesis will examine the nineteenth-century supernatural stories written by women connected to Spiritualism. These include ‘standard’ ghost stories, esoteric novels and works infused with Spiritualist and occult themes and tropes. The middle- and upper-class Victorian woman was already considered something of a spirit guide within her own home; following the emergence of Modern Spiritualism in the 1850s, women were afforded the opportunity to become paid spirit guides (that is, mediums and lecturers) in the public sphere. Spiritualism was an empowering force for female mediums like Elizabeth d’Espérance and Emma Hardinge Britten, and Spiritualist philosopher Catherine Crowe. In this thesis I will examine how these new power dynamics—to use Britten’s phrasing, the ‘place and mission of woman’—are reflected in society and literature. This thesis sees Spiritualism as the impetus for several occult movements which emerged near to the end of century, including Marie Corelli’s Electrical Christianity, Madame Blavatsky’s Theosophy, and Florence Farr’s Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn.
