Journal of Victorian Culture

Aims & Scope

Journal of Victorian Culture (JVC) interprets the notions of 'Victorian' and 'Culture' very broadly, and solicits articles dealing with any aspect of the long nineteenth century and its legacies, focusing on Britain and all other parts of the world where culture can be studied in a Victorian context.

JVC is addressed to scholars working within the various disciplines that traditionally have constituted Victorian studies; it also confronts issues about and raises questions across disciplinary boundaries.

The editorial board welcomes articles that adopt an interdisciplinary approach to their subject matter.

However, the board also encourages articles which, while focusing on one sub-discipline, reflect on the implications of their argument for other Victorian studies constituencies.

All manuscripts should be written in a style accessible across disciplines.

Authors should keep in mind this question: how is this research of interest to other Victorianists?
