In addition to noting the many new scholarly editions of his writing, the article focuses on six major areas of interest in Wilde over the last two decades: Wilde as a figure in Victorian Sexual History, where he assumes both central and subsidiary roles; Wilde as biographical subject, in which some biographers depict him as a serious artist and thinker while other biographers view him as complicit in his own criminal downfall; Wilde as a the twentieth- and twenty-first century cultural precursor of the American Pop artist Andy Warhol but also as a figure who transcends Warholian aesthetics as Wilde comes to represent a denied sentimentality, especially evident in recent cinematic adaptations; Wilde as a global figure whose writing and influence have resonated powerfully outside of Britain; Wilde and the critical approach known as the New Formalism, in which Wilde's so-called art-for-art's sake philosophy and practice are taken seriously; Wilde as he has come to assume a prominent place in the critical field known as the New Decadent Studies, in which the Decadent movement that Wilde helped to inaugurate emerges as far more than a short-lived, largely British phenomenon associated only with the 1880s and 1890s and that supposedly died with the successful prosecution of the playwright in 1895.","PeriodicalId":195639,"journal":{"name":"Dickens Studies Annual: Essays on Victorian Fiction","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130489912","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The most intriguing use of Dickens's name in the spiritualist community was through the American medium T. P. James, who became known as Dickens's medium, and gained popularity when he published Part Second of the Mystery of Edwin Drood (1873) from the \"spirit-pen of Charles Dickens.\" In addition to the publication of the manuscript itself, writers for the spiritualist press were quick to attempt to prove or disprove the text's validity. Later, James started his own spiritualist magazine, The Summerland Messenger (1874), which continued to publish short stories and social commentary from the \"spirit-pen of Charles Dickens.\" This article will analyze the various spiritualist messages that James included in Part Second while connecting it to the supernatural themes present in Dickens's original novel. It will examine James's claim that his manuscript was written through the spirit-pen of Charles Dickens, evaluating the text and its influence on its audience. It concludes that James, and the spiritualist press, used Dickens's work and name to increase the followers of Spiritualism, proving that it was at its core, a community of readers.","PeriodicalId":195639,"journal":{"name":"Dickens Studies Annual: Essays on Victorian Fiction","volume":"361 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115916738","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

But the last twelve or so years nevertheless feel like something of a Thackeray resurgence, at least in scholarship. This article reviews here more than twenty-five pieces of scholarship, a fifth of what we might typically see on Dickens in the same period, but that scholarship includes some exciting, insightful, and transformative thinking, particularly about genre and prose style. Reasons innumerable weigh against a revival of Thackeray's popularity, foremost of which may simply be the length of his mature work, which can be too difficult to balance with other texts on syllabi sensitive to the attention spans and extracurricular demands of many students. As it happens, inattention, interruption, productive reverie, and distraction are the preeminent virtues that Nicholas Dames ascribes to Thackeray's fiction and Victorian theories of fiction in \"Distraction's Negative Liberty: Thackeray and Attention,\" from The Physiology of the Novel (2007), which is unquestionably one of the most perceptive, ingenious, and influential accounts of Thackeray in the past twenty-five years.","PeriodicalId":195639,"journal":{"name":"Dickens Studies Annual: Essays on Victorian Fiction","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132485190","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
