My short take on current challenges for Neo-Victorian Studies is out in Victorian Literature and Culture Grateful to all at VLC: Rachel Ablow & Daniel Hack for editing & publishing this, and to Ariana Nadia Nash for all the support! 🔓Open Access @CambridgeUP doi.org/10.1017/S106...

What will it take for neo-Victorian studies to keep its promise of moving beyond the toxic legacies of its Victorian forebears and enter into meaningful dialogues with disciplines such as Indigenous studies, African studies, Black studies, or postcolonial studies? Could the neo-Victorian even become a field that scholars from these disciplines might choose to engage with to a much larger degree? These disciplines are, after all, acutely aware of how contemporary hegemonies and paradigms relate to a significant degree to the long nineteenth century's colonial exploitations. Just as Victorian studies is tasked with its undisciplining, such an approach to neo-Victorian studies would require critical (self-)assessments of the field's disciplinarity, its structures and epistemologies of exclusion, its methodological and conceptual limitations.Footnote 9 These interventions cannot be made effectively if they come from within the current domains of neo-Victorian scholarship alone.
