- W2329509908 abstract "Abstract This essay investigates the late-Victorian competition between oral and print mass cultures by focusing on the example of the popular lecture. It situates fictional lecturing scenes in the historical contexts of increased literacy rates and the explosion of mass print culture as well as elitist fears about political inclusiveness after the 1867 Reform Act. My lecturing scenes are taken from Wilkie Collins’s sensation novel Armadale (1866) and sensationalist fiction serialized between 1862 and 1895 in three penny fiction weeklies, Bow Bells , the London Reader , and the London Journal , all of which targeted (female) lower-middle and middle-class readers. I attend to the scenes’ metafictional resonances and ironic remediations of orality in print, reading them as offering valuable reflections on ongoing changes in the nineteenth-century mediascape. Such staged lecturer-audience interactions can be shown to be engaged with a vital topic of late-nineteenth-century psychology: the problem of attention, closely tied to the development of ‘modern’ constructions of subjectivity. Attention in these sensationalist narratives is modelled as a physiological affect, and states of deep attention or fascination are shown to be uncannily indistinguishable from hypnotic trance or sleep. Investigating how the texts negotiate the anonymous urban mass culture of the late nineteenth century, the essay thus also demonstrates how fictional lecture performances model pressing late-Victorian political concerns about democracy and authority, class and gender. While Victorian conservative critics had for a long time accused sensation fiction of having an illegitimate impact on (female) readers’ bodies and nerves, my fictional examples of charismatic oral performances, by revealing the speakers’ techniques of attraction and audience manipulation, also debate whether suggestibility is indeed a feature of the lower classes and women – or, paradoxically, indexical of upper-class cultivation." @default.
