Victorian Studies at Glasgow is a lively concentration, with a strong postgraduate community and a cohort of distinguished senior scholars and newly appointed early-career researchers. Research on Victorian literature and culture at Glasgow is strongly interdisciplinary in character, bridging together periodical studies; the intersections of literature, medicine, science and mathematics; popular cultural forms such as the Gothic; and textual scholarship and editorial work.

The interests of staff in Victorian Studies also range widely across the field. Specialisms include literature and science, medical humanities, travel writing, colonial studies, nineteenth-century spiritualism, children’s fiction, eco-criticism and neo-Victorianism. Our research in these areas has been supported by major funding bodies, such as the Arts and Humanities Research Council, the Royal Society of Edinburgh, the Carnegie Trust, the European Research Council, and the British Academy. Recent funded research includes: the AHRC-funded ‘Decadence and Translation’ Network (2018-2020); Scottish Cosmopolitanism at the Fin de Siècle (2020-2021), funded by the Royal Society of Edinburgh and James Hogg’s Contributions to Fraser’s Magazine for Town and Country, 1830-1836 (2020-23), funded by the Carnegie Trust.

Our work involves collaborations with a range of external partners to explore how Victorian culture continues to shape society today, from how we curate our heritage in museums and classrooms, to how we make decisions about our health. Partners include: The Hunterian Museum, The Natural History Museum, Mackintosh at the Willow (National Trust for Scotland), the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow, and others.
