- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
