Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

The Journal of Victorian Culture explores the cultural, social, and literary aspects of the Victorian era. Recent articles examine the translation and reception of literature in different cultural contexts, the practices of theatrical management and audience engagement, social reform movements and individual lives within them, literary engagements with national identities and landscapes, and the representation of domesticity and nature. The journal also investigates themes of sexuality, gender, and identity, including queer conceptualizations of relationships and marriage, and the historical construction of concepts like asexuality. Furthermore, it addresses the impact of digital humanities on historical research and the analysis of cultural records, as well as the study of Orientalism and representations of girlhood. Discussions also encompass historical debates on punishment and national identity, and the role of spiritualism and belief systems.
