Neo-Victorian Things : Re-imagining Nineteenth-Century Material Cultures in Literature and Film / Maier, Sarah E.; Ayres, Brenda; Dove, Danielle Mariann (ed.). - Cham : Palgrave Macmillan Cham, 2022. - pp. 67-89. - ISBN 978-3-031-06200-1
Abstract
Drawing on the current trend towards participatory cultures and the performative, Nadine Boehm-Schnitker introduces neo-Victorian Material Culture Studies and suggests that consumers are now “doing the past” in the sense of trying to re-enact Victorian “scripts” in multiple modes. She focuses on opium and opium paraphernalia because the drug serves as an apt metaphor for the interplay of remembrance and oblivion that characterises neo-Victorian appropriations of the past. She situates opium in a context of political economy and imperialism and continues to illustrate its continuing cultural relevance in different neo-Victorian appropriations of Victorian scripts related to opium: Amitav Ghosh’s novel Sea of Poppies (2008), the BBC’s documentary series Victorian Pharmacy (2010) and the ITV-adaptation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s “The Man with the Twisted Lip” (1890).
