Scholars of literature and art explore how literary works of the 19th century are being transformed into graphic novels in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. They cover Dispossession: Simon Grennan's graphic adaptation of Trollope's John Caldigate; 19th-century visualizations; and using the Victorians: appropriation, adaptation, and historiography. Among their topics are adapting and displaying multiple temporalities: what became of John Caldigate and Maupassant's Boule de Suif in Dispossesion and Battaglia's Contres et nouvelles de guerre, allegorical landscapes: the psychology of seeing in Trollop's later novels, complex meanings in illustrated literature 1860-80, neo-Victorianism and the tyranny of the sexual taboo, allegories of graphiation: Alberto Breccia's counter-censorial versions of E. A. Poe's Valdemar, and an incomplete project: graphic adaptations of Moby-Dick and the ethics of response. Distributed in the US by Corvell University Press.
