Victorian Secrecy: Economies of Knowledge and Concealment by Denise Tischler Mil

Description: Victorian Secrecy by Denise Tischler Millstein, Albert D. Pionke Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Whether commercial, personal, political, professional, or spiritual, knowledge was capital for the Victorians in their ongoing project of constructing a modern information-based society. Victorian Secrecy explores the myriad ways in which knowledge was both zealously accumulated and jealously guarded by individuals, institutions, and government entities in Victorian Britain. Offering a wide variety of critical approaches and disciplinary perspectives, the contributors examine secretive actors with respect to a broad range of subjects, including the narrator in Tess of the dUrbervilles, John Henry Newmans autobiographical novel Loss and Gain, Richard Dadds The Fairy Fellers Masterstroke, modes of detection in Bleak House, the secret history of Harriet Martineaus role in the repeal of the Corn Law, and Victorian stage magicians. Taken together, the essays provide a richly textured account of which modes of hiding and revealing articulate secrets in Victorian literature and culture; how social relations are formed and reformed in relationship to secrecy; and what was at stake individually, aesthetically, and culturally in the Victorians clandestine activities. Author Biography Albert Pionke is associate professor of English at the University of Alabama, USA and Denise Tischler Millstein is assistant professor of nineteenth-century British literature at Stephen F.
