Abstract

This round table presented the relevance of Victorian and neo-Victorian studies and/in Spain under the auspices of a funded Network (“Victorian and Neo-Victorian Studies in Spain Network’-VINS-FFI2015-71025-REDT) with several work packages. Our research focuses on the Victorians in an (inter)national context with the aim to synthesise the impact of the Victorians on the shaping of modern and contemporary European society. The members involved, five Spanish researchers from different universities, are linked by their research into (neo-)Victorian studies and its diversity in contemporary society including Victorian predecessors and successors as well as neo-Victorianism. They consider the position of the research in the fields of Victorian and neo-Victorian studies and/in Spain. The members of the round table encouraged the audience to join and contribute to the current debate over the Victorians: How are the Victorians received today? What frameworks are useful in contemporary interventions into the Victorian literature and culture?
