Neo-Victorian is an aesthetic movement which amalgamates Victorian and Edwardian aesthetic sensibilities with modern principles and technologies. A large number of magazines and websites are devoted to Neo-Victorian ideas in dress, family life, interior decoration, morals, and other topics. A large number of neo-Victorian novels have reinterpreted, reproduced and rewritten Victorian culture. Significant texts include ''The French Lieutenant’s Woman'' (John Fowles, 1969), ''Possession'' (A. S. Byatt, 1990), ''Arthur and George'' (Julian Barnes, 2005), ''Dorian, An Imitation'' (Will Self, 2002) ''Jack Maggs'' (Peter Carey, 1997), ''Wide Sargasso Sea'' (Jean Rhys, 1966). Recent neo-Victorian novels have often been adapted to the screen, from ''The French Lieutenant’s Woman'' (Karel Reisz, 1981) to the television adaptations of Sarah Waters (''Tipping the Velvet'', BBC2, 2002, ''Fingersmith '', BBC1, 2005, ''Affinity '' ITV, 2008) and Michel Faber (''The Crimson Petal and the White'', BBC 1, 2011). These narratives may indicate a 'sexsation' of neo-Victorianism ((Kohlke) ) and have been called 'in-yer-face' neo-Victorianism (Voigts-Virchow). Recent productions of neo-Victorianism on screen include Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes films, the BBC’s ''Sherlock'' (2010-), ''Ripper Street'' (2012-), ITV’s ''Whitechapel '' (2009–13) or the Showtime series ''Penny Dreadful'' (2014-). The neo-Victorian formula can be expanded to include Edwardian consumer culture (''Downton Abbey'', ITV 2010-, ''The Paradise'', BBC 2012-2013) and ''Mr Selfridge'' (ITV 2013-). In September 2007, Exeter University explored the phenomenon in a major international conference titled ''Neo-Victorianism: The Politics and Aesthetics of Appropriation''.〔https://call-for-papers.sas.upenn.edu/node/31784〕 Academic studies include ''Neo-Victorianism: The Victorians in the Twenty-First Century, 1999–2009''. Other foundational texts of neo-Victorian criticism are Kucich and Sadoff (2000), Kaplan (2007), Kohlke (2008-), Munford and Young (2009), Mitchell (2010), Davies (2012), Whelehan (2012), Kleinecke-Bates (2014), Böhm-Schnitker and Gruss (2014) and others. ==In arts and crafts== Examples of crafts made in this style would include push-button cordless telephones made to look like antique wall-mounted phones, CD players resembling old time radios, Victorianesque furniture, and Victorian era-style clothing. In neo-romantic and fantasy art one can often see the elements of Victorian aesthetic values. There is also a strongly emerging genre of steampunk art. McDermott & McGough are a couple of contemporary artists whose work is all about a recreation of life in the nineteenth century: they only use the ultimate technology available, and since they are supposed to live anachronistically, this means the use of earlier photographic processes, and maintaining the illusion of a life stuck in the ways of a forgotten era. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Neo-Victorian」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
