A Companion to Victorian Sensational Fiction, edited by pamela gilbert K., is a ground-breaking introductory anthology to a unique period of literary history, arousing fascination among readers today as much as it did to Victorians themselves more than a century ago. The companion includes contributions from distinguished scholar-practitioners working primarily in the fields of English Literature and Victorian Studies, yet it draws on theory and analysis from across the humanities as well as from more interdisciplinary literary studies. This volume offers the reader not only a glimpse of the experiences of women, ethnic minorities, artists, and abolitionists seen through the prism of some of the finest period example works in this niche, but also examines the works thematically, provides market, publishers, and authors information of numerous publications to date, and contemplates the enduring legacy of both popular works and often forgotten masterpieces created during this tumultuous period. K's Editor's Introduction contextualizes the supernatural as a contemporary issue and lays the groundwork for this team's penetrating discussions of themes such as gender, sexuality, fantasy, protest, voyeurism, impersonation, historicity, austere decor, literary stylometry, recreations of mood, racial/ethnic attitudes, nineteenth-century medical concepts, medical verisimilitude, and the moral implications of reading fiction.
