Excited to have Professor Ruth Livesey @llc-rhul.bsky.social and curator Liz Louis from @nationalgalleries.bsky.social presenting plenary panels at Nineteenth-Century Legacies next month! Sure to be a stimulating day of papers and discussion. Register: 19clegacies.wixsite.com/19centuryleg...

Maybe poetry's your thing? Sarah Parker's 'Form and Modernity in Women's Poetry' which shows that traditional forms played a vital role in shaping mature women poets’ responses to modernity, illuminating debates about form, tradition, and gender in poetry.

THAT'S NOT ALL! Kate Holterhoff's 'Speculation and Darwinian Method in British Romance Fiction' is also available! This book places the interplay between British science and romance fiction into critical perspective and highlights his enduring impact on Western culture.

AND! Daniel Jenkin-Smith's 'The Rise of Office Literature' which explores the social and cultural history of bureaucratization in 19th-century Britain and France via the evolving literary portrayal of office life.

We also have Riley McGuire's 'Dysfluent in Fiction: Vocal Disability and Nineteenth-Century Literature'. A literary history of vocal disability in the nineteenth century; this underexamined literary trope helps us to understand vocal hierarchies that still structure our present.

Our list of titles includes (but is not limited to)
Sarah Bilston's 'The Lost Orchid: A Story of Victorian Plunder and Obsession' (Harvard UP, 2025).
A story of consumer desire, scientific curiosity, and the devastating power of colonial overreach.

Registration for Nineteenth-Century Legacies is open! Join us at Royal Holloway, University of London (Egham June 3rd) for excellent papers, plenary speakers, and a roundtable discussion. Complete form by 19th May to confirm attendance. forms.office.com/e/RdenySx4D3
