Starting the day at #VPFAExtremes with the ‘Depths of the Sea’ panel, and Joanne Knowles’ (Dr Joanne Knowles 🇺🇦) paper on ‘Improvers, Destroyers and Extremes at the Victorian Seaside’

Starting the Intertextuality and Adaptation panel, we've got Julia Kuehn joining us online to talk about Marie Carelli's novel The Sorrows of Satan and its stage adaptations #VPFAExtremes

We now have Casey Reeves discussing Renee Vivien and Natalie Burney’s poetry and their use of Sappho to signal to the queer community #VPFAExtremes

Next we have Dr Lucy Ella Rose discussing the decadent transformations of protagonists in Netta Syrett’s novels as they come to epitomise the transgressive extremes of the 'New Movement' #VPFAExtremes

And finishing off this panel is Emilie Laurent with her exploration of the monstrous extremes of gender in the figure of the castrato in Vernon Lee’s ‘A Wicked Voice’ #VPFAExtremes

Victorian discourses about the voice and its changes and diseases were entangled with morality and sexuality, something Lee drew on in her portrayal of the castrato and his monstrous corporality #VPFAExtremes

A great way to start the BAVS BAVS Postgrads conference in Oxford next week. See you there! 😊
