• W4311966296 abstract "Greetings from the Editor Deborah A. Logan Victorians. A Journal of Culture and Literature #142, Winter 2022 offers provocative insights on what constitutes representative Victorian culture, particularly in terms of literary realism. A central theme linking these analyses has to do with canonicity, asking which authors and what writing constitute canon-worthy material? How representative is this material in terms of the spirit of the Victorian age? For example, Abigail Boucher's 'Dabbling in Delicate Drugs': Aristocracy, Darwinism, and Substance Abuse in M. P. Shiel's The Purple Cloud investigates a little-known post-apocalyptic novel, wherein scientific advances defining the era result in the near-destruction of the human race. The conclusion of Shiel's novel is ambiguous in its refusal to articulate whether or not humanity is worth, and is worthy of, recuperating. In terms of realism, this fantasy envisions what was then unthinkable, but what is now entirely possible—even probable. Julie Donovan's Eliza Lynn Linton and the Irish Question marks the bicentenary of a writer who, from her position as an independent career woman, is best known for her virulent anti-feminism. Similarly, Linton's commentary on Irish nationalism is written—not from journalistic objectivity, but—from conservative, personal opinions, in defiance of the period's embrace of analyses based on empirical evidence. Donovan's conclusion argues for meeting Linton on that ground, and for evaluating her contentiousness as an essential voice contributing to contemporary Victorian discourse. While many Victorian studies address both the Woman Question and Irish independence, comparatively few investigate masculinity—specifically, that distinguished from the sentimentalized treatments found in social-problem fiction. Rob Breton's Violence and Masculinity in Arthur Morrison's Tales of Mean Streets studies writing that depicts what would now be called toxic masculinity or, better, hypermasculinity. Breton's analysis looks at writing about the mean streets of urban slums, by—most significantly—one who was himself born into that milieu. The literary realism exhibited here is brutally different from the social-progress narratives written by such socio-economic outsiders as Mayhew, Gaskell, and Dickens. Charlotte Brontë's Villette may not have the literary authority of Jane Eyre, but its signature blend of realism and Gothicism resists Lucy's final integration (Eagleton) into the marriage plot. Ashley Nadeau's Illusion, Disillusion: Theater Space and Public Performances of Bourgeois Femininity in Charlotte Brontë's Villette considers the gender performances expected of Lucy Snowe in two public theatrical episodes—performances of the conformity expected of all Victorian women that Lucy finds unacceptable. Nadeau's perspectives on the novel's ambivalent conclusion segues into John McBratney's analysis of The Moonstone. 'We Are All Getting Liberal Now': The Cosmopolitan Critique of British Liberalism in Wilkie Collins's The Moonstone similarly investigates performance—here, the performance of cosmopolitanism by both colonized and colonizers—within the immediate framework of British imperialism and the much larger perspective of Hindu cosmology. Here, too, performance is not innate but acquired, raising important questions about realism and its authenticity. [End Page v] The literary canonization of Stoker's Dracula seems both unlikely and inevitable, given the intersections of realism, Gothicism, and apocalyptic threat characterizing the fin de siècle. Dracula—the Route to Canonization and After by William Donaldson evaluates academia's embrace of what seemed a temporary, popular-culture phenomenon, finding instead a more substantive reflection of such disciplines as paleontology, anatomy, and historiography. Donaldson argues that the characterizations, narrative timing, and distinctive voices Stoker offers in this epistolary novel are convincing and far superior to Collins's The Woman in White, to which it was often negatively compared. As Editor of Victorians Journal, I thank Emily Taylor of The Ohio State University Press / Journals for her continued support and guidance. I also thank our authors, whose insights have resulted in this splendid collection of new work on Victorian studies. [End Page vi] Deborah A.
