This collection constitutes the first volume in Rodopis NeoVictorian Series, which explores the prevalent but often problematic revision of the long nineteenth century in contemporary culture. Here is presented for the first time an extended analysis of the conjunction of neoVictorian fiction and trauma discourse, highlighting the significant interventions in collective memory staged by the belated aesthetic workingthrough of historical catastrophes, as well as their lingering traces in the present. The neoVictorians privileging of marginalised voices and its contestation of masternarratives of historical progress construct a patchwork of competing but equally legitimate versions of the past, highlighting ongoing crises of existential extremity, truth and meaning, nationhood and subjectivity. This volume will be of interest to both researchers and students of the growing field of neoVictorian studies, as well as scholars in memory studies, trauma theory, ethics, and heritage studies. It interrogates the ideological processes of commemoration and forgetting and queries how the suffering of cultural and temporal others should best be represented, so as to resist the temptations of exploitative appropriation and voyeuristic spectacle. Such precarious negotiations foreground a central paradox: the ethical imperative to bear afterwitness to historys silenced victims in the face of the potential unrepresentability of extreme suffering.
