Replication in the Long Nineteenth Century

Julie Codell is Professor of Art History at Arizona State University. Her publications include Orientalism, Eroticism & Modern Visuality in Global Cultures (Routledge, 2016), The Victorian Artist: Artists' Life Writing in Britain (Cambridge UP, 2003) and Transculturation in British Art, 1770–1930 (Ashgate, 2012), among others. Linda K. Hughes, Addie Levy Professor of Literature at TCU, specialises in historical media studies (poetry, periodicals, serial fiction); gender and women’s studies; and transnationality including transatlanticism. With Sarah R. Robbins she is co-editor of Teaching Transatlanticism (Edinburgh University Press, 2015) and with Julie Codell co-editor of Replication in the Long Nineteenth Century: Re-makings and Reproductions (Edinburgh University Press, 2018). Her monographs include The Victorian Serial (with Michael Lund, 1991), The Cambridge Introduction to Victorian Poetry (2010) and Victorian Women Writers and the Other Germany: Cross-Cultural Freedoms and Female Opportunity (2022).

Introducing a very productive conceptual category for thinking about nineteenth-century evaluative systems and truth claims, this is a groundbreaking collection.
