Works about this Work

Whither Postmodernism? Four Tentative Neo-Victorian Answers Christian Gutleben , 2015 single work criticism
— Appears in: Etudes Anglaises , April-June vol. 68 no. 2 2015; (p. 224-236)
'This paper sets out to examine in what ways recent neo-Victorian fiction illustrates twenty-first-century fiction’s quest for new novelistic possibilities. On the basis of David Mitchell’s Cloud Atlas (2004), Andrea Levy’s The Long Song (2010), Michel Faber’s The Crimson Petal and the White (2002) and Rosie Garland’s The Palace of Curiosities (2013), it will be argued that neo-Victorianism broadens the scope of postmodernism by conceiving a cosmopoetics in which a referential and an aesthetic globalisation are combined, by imagining alternative forms of fictional historiography, by challenging various forms of orthodoxy and by questioning the limits of the human. Although it suggests evolutions and variations in relation to late twentieth-century historiographic metafiction, the novel of the new millennium nevertheless cannot be said to forsake postmodernism.'
