Abstract

English

This dissertation analyses how neo-Victorian fiction seizes upon 19th century taboo topics such as sexuality or gender. By examining key texts ranging from novellas to graphic novels and applying Julia Kristeva's concept of the abject to cultural phenomena, this thesis proposes that this focus is a kind of memory work, exploring the dark corners of our own collective unconscious we inherited from the past.
Keywords: sexuality; neo-victorian; homosexuality; feminism; gender roles; spiritualism
