Neo-victorianism : the victorians in the twenty-first century, 1999-2009

This is a co-authored monograph with shared responsibility for the full publication between the two authors, although each had lead responsibility for specific chapters. In Llewellyn's case, he was the lead researcher and author of the framework-setting Introduction, Chapter 4 and Chapter 6. These individual sections and the conceptualisation of neo-Victorianism in the book as a whole drew extensively on Llewellyn's other publications in the field. As noted in the Acknowledgements to the book, this included four referred journal articles and one book chapter published in 2008 and 2009 in addition to six conference presentations and keynote lectures on work-in-progress during the book's drafting.

This monograph represents the first sustained critical analysis of neo-Victorianism. The work undertaken towards the book was carried out over nine years by both authors as part of a sustained research collaboration, and at 135,000 words it is almost twice the length of a standard Palgrave monograph. The book’s comprehensive conceptualisation of this growing area of research has been recognised in reviews received to date and in the frequent citation of its defintional statements about the field, meeting the requirements for work of such significance, rigour and originality in approach to merit consideration for double-weighting.
