Abstract |
“In the marketing of Neo-Victorian fiction as a product for a consuming public, Maciej Sulmicki’s [article] presents the writer’s choice as being between on the one hand, pandering to a passive nostalgia and on the other, entering into a critical dialogue with the past. His comparative reading of Alan Moore’s The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen against Michel Faber’s The Crimson Petal and the White challenges the assumed binaries of high art and popular culture, analyzing the market forces that shape literary production.” (Maeve Tynan: Introduction to Otherness 2.1)
