First published in 1894, the story of the diva Trilby O'Ferrall and her mentor, Svengali, has entered the mythology of that period alongside Dracula and Sherlock Holmes. Immensely popular for years, the novel led to a hit play, a series of popular films, Trilby products from hats to ice-cream, and streets in Florida named after characters in the book. The setting reflects Du Maurier's bohemian years as an art student in Paris before he went to London to make a career in journalism.

  • The Cameo Murders
    GRAYA – NO 133 49 The Cameo Murders Almost 70 years ago, on 8th February 1950, George Kelly, a small time villain in his mid-twenties, was sentenced to death for a notorious and brutal double murder at the Cameo Cinema, Liverpool, a few months earlier. He was later hanged, protesting his innocence to the last. Over 50 years later, in 2003, the Court of Appeal quashed his conviction. The case became something of a cause célèbre at the time. It remains an unsolved murder. It also launched the career in silk of Rose Heilbron, my mother (later Dame Rose Heilbron and the first woman Bencher and Treasurer of Gray’s Inn). Let us therefore step back in time to the night of 19th March 1969, a Saturday evening, when folk in Liverpool were enjoying a night out at the Cameo Cinema watching a film called Bond Street, coincidentally about a double murder and starring two well-known actors of the time, Jean Kent and Roland Young. As the cinemagoers left to return home, Leonard Thomas, aged 44, the manager of the Cameo Cinema, and John Bernard Catterall, aged 30, his assistant, were in the manager’s office on the first floor of the building counting the confectionery takings. Shortly after 9.30 pm, the cashier came in with the ticket takings in a blue cloth bag. They amounted to £50.8s in cash, mostly in notes. She stayed about 3–4 minutes and left to go to the staff room. A few minutes later a masked man brandishing a gun burst into the room demanding the takings.

Victorian Popular Fictions 2.2: 131-126. DOI: https://doi.org/10.46911/UWYR4878 In The Victorian Male Body the white male body is established and explored as a dominant but invisible paradigm of an era in which representations of masculinity were in constant flux. The aims of the book are to deconstruct and analyse in depth the workings of this unquestioned, yet crucial concept of Victorian society, with remarkable consideration given to how deviations from “normality” are used to represent other forms of masculinity in positive and negative ways. The book is divided into three well-structured sections. While the first proposes an understanding of the methods with which the ideal male body was promoted via socialisation, in sections Two and Three respectively the book methodically explores various other derivations of the masculine body, taking into account the layers of meaning inherent in fractured and unruly male bodies. These two sections analyse depictions of men with prostheses and those suffering with tuberculosis and corpulence to identify but a few examples of this wide-ranging study. In section One, Alice Crossley argues that schools functioned as a method of socialisation for the male body. Her mapping of hierarchy and corporal punishment as a symbol of phallic supremacy identifies how a heteronormative environment implicitly prepared students for homosocial relationships beyond school age.

Throughout the novel, Svengali is portrayed as a beastly creature, and he appears to be the undisputed villain, since Trilby dies under his hypnotic spell.

  • Rule Bohemia: the Cosmopolitics Ofsubcultureingeorgedu Maurier’S Trilby
    Victorian Literature and Culture (2010), 38, 547–570. C Cambridge University Press 2010. 1060-1503/10 $15.00 doi:10.1017/S1060150310000161 RULE BOHEMIA: THE COSMOPOLITICS OFSUBCULTUREINGEORGEDU MAURIER’S TRILBY By Kimberly J. Stern IN 1895, THE CRITIC PUBLISHED an anecdote about two young ladies discussing the popularity of George Du Maurier’s novel Trilby (1894): “What is this ‘Trilby’ everybody is talking about?” asked one of these. “Oh,” replied the other, “it’s a book – a novel.” “They say it is awfully bad,” said the first young person. “Yes, I’ve heard so; but it isn’t so at all. I read it clear through, and there wasn’t anything bad in it. I didn’t like it either; there is too much French in it.” “French?” commented the first young woman; “well that’s it, then – all the bad part is in French.” “I hadn’t thought of that,” mused the other one, “I suppose that’s just the way of it.”1 The dialogue provides an illuminating glimpse into the controversy surrounding the publication of Trilby, a novel that brazenly celebrates a heroine who possesses “all the virtues but one” – chastity (35; pt. 1). Although Trilby was successful enough to inspire a spate of songs, literary parodies, and stage adaptations, its depiction of Paris’s bohemian underground flouted mainstream Victorian values. The Connecticut Magazine charged Du Maurier with inspiring “comparative indifference” to sexual virtue, and readers everywhere worried that young people, like those depicted in the above vignette, would be unable to distinguish virtue from vice after reading the novel (“A Free Lance” 105).

  • Gertrude Christian Fosdick's out of Bohemia and the Artists' Novel of the 1890S
    A Forgotten Daughter of Bohemia: Gertrude Christian Fosdick’s Out of Bohemia and the Artists’ Novel of the 1890s donna campbell Washington State University n October 1859, George William Curtis, editor of Harper’s New Monthly IMagazine, attempted to define for his readers the concept of Bohemia. Alluding to both the freedom that Bohemia embodied and anxiety about the threat it posed to bourgeois life, he pronounced that “Bohemia is the realm of vagabondage[,] . a fairy land upon the hard earth. Hereabouts you may find it in painters’ studios, and in the rooms of authors. [I]ts denizens are clad loosely—seedily, in the vulgate—and they are shaggy as to the head, with abounding hair. Whatever is not ‘respectable’ they are” (705). This idea of Bohemia as an imagined site for artists mapped onto an actual urban terrain of lower-class neighborhoods began with Henri Murger’s La Vie de Bohème, and by the end of the nineteenth century, the term “Bohemia” had wide currency as a signifier of unconventional living. For example, Christian Reid’s A Daughter of Bohemia is set in the South but uses the term “Bohemia” as a kind of shorthand for its spirited heroine’s irregular and travel-filled upbringing. Earlier works such as Thomas Janvier’s Color Studies and Puccini’s La Bohème popularized the idea of an artistic Bohemia, but it was George Du Maurier’s Trilby that defined the term for the 1890s. Du Maurier’s eponymous heroine, Trilby O’Farrell, is a free- spirited artists’ model who enchants three English art students living in Paris.
