This volume of essays in honour of Professor Emma Harris explores various branches of British history from 1700 to the present. The range of topics reflects the varied academic interests of the authors, who are friends, colleagues, and former students of Professor Harris. The essays take us on a journey through time, beginning with Queen Anne, eighteenth-century translations of literature, literary criticism, and ethnographical writings on witches. From there we proceed to Lord Byron, the outcast playwright, Victorian Englishness, modernist foreignness, the effect of World War I on language, and World War II on fashion. The collection also incorporates reflections on subcultural studies and on the fascination of the mystery of Jack the Ripper.
Lucyna Krawczyk-Żywko is Assistant Professor at the Department of Cultural Studies of the Institute of English Studies, University of Warsaw, Poland. Her research interests include Victorian and Neo-Victorian studies. She co-edited We the Neo-Victorians. Perspectives on Literature and Culture (2013).
