Neo-Victorian Freakery: The Cultural Afterlife of the Victorian Freak Show

Autor Helen Davies
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 7 sep 2015
Neo-Victorian Freakery explores the way in which contemporary fiction, film, and television has revisited the lives of nineteenth-century freak show performers. It locates the neo-Victorian freak show as a crucial forum for debating the politics of disability, gender, sexuality and race within the genre more broadly.

Recenzii

“The current volume extends the analysis to the reappearance of Victorian freaks in contemporary fiction, plays, films, graphic novels, and television. … provides many perspectives, including her own, on the original experiences of Sarah Baartman … . Davies demonstrates that long-dead freaks still raise disturbing questions about sexuality, race, and otherness. Extensive notes. Summing Up: Recommended. Lower-division undergraduates through faculty and professionals; general readers.” (R. Sugarman, Choice, Vol. 53 (9), May, 2016)
