  • Forgers and Fiction: How Forgery Developed the Novel, 1846-79

This work is protected against unauthorized copying under Title 17, United States Code. ProQuest LLC 789 East Eisenhower Parkway P.O. Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 2 Abstract This thesis argues that real-life forgery cases significantly shaped the form of Victorian fiction. Forgeries of bills of exchange, wills, parish registers or other documents were depicted in at least one hundred novels between 1846 and 1879. Many of these portrayals were inspired by celebrated real-life forgery cases. Forgeries are fictions, and Victorian fiction’s representations of forgery were often self- reflexive. Chapter one establishes the historical, legal and literary contexts for forgery in the Victorian period. Chapter two demonstrates how real-life forgers prompted Victorian fiction to explore its ambivalences about various conceptions of realist representation. Chapter three shows how real-life forgers enabled Victorian fiction to develop the genre of sensationalism. Chapter four investigates how real-life forgers influenced fiction’s questioning of its epistemological status in Victorian culture.

  • King's College London Is One of the Top 25 Universities in the World (2016/17 QS World University Rankings) and Among the Oldest in England
    RCUK CSF Annual Report 2016/17: King’s College London TABLE OF CONTENTS 1. Executive Summary 2. Context 3. Distinctiveness of the project 4. Outputs, outcomes and impact 5. Sustainability plans 6. Case studies and stories of change 7. Conclusions 8. Appendix 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In 2016, King’s launched its Strategic Vision 2029, outlining the universities five strategic priorities: Education, Research, Service, London and International. Core to that vision is King’s connectivity with the world around us – locally, nationally and internationally. In 2011, King’s took a new and innovative approach to external engagement, moving from a conventional centralised unit with responsibility for public engagement to a model in which specialist hubs, at the interface between King’s and the communities around it, broker and enable two-way engagement. The work enabled by the CSF should be seen in this context as enabling and supporting the university’s approach to embedding engagement within research and the wider university strategies from the bottom-up. One of these hubs is the university’s Science Gallery London which, along with the funds from RCUK, has been a significant catalyst for change over the last two years. Together, through initiatives developed across the two years of CSF funding, such as our cost recovery model for PE support, Impact and Engagement Services, we have successfully integrated public engagement support within the research management process. Linking Impact and Engagement Services to King’s Vision 2029 has ensured continued support for engagement. A new innovation promotional pathway, established in the second year of funding, has provided a new mechanism for rewarding researcher involvement in public engagement.

When I went to university as an undergraduate, I was clueless about how it worked as an institution, on lots of different levels: I didn't know what the politics of higher education were; how universities were funded and run; what an MA or PhD were; what 'research' might be; what staff did when they were not in the classroom; what a university degree could mean in terms of jobs etc. ... Coming to university can make you feel cut adrift, because it's a whole new world with new rules which you have to work hard to get your head round.
