This gallery is part of ENGL 202's build assignment. Research something having to do with race, gender, class and/or sex in the nineteenth century, and then contribute what you have learned to our shared class resource. As the assignment states, "Add one timeline element, one map element and one gallery image about race, class or gender/sex in the 19th century to our collective resources in COVE. Provide sufficient detail to explain the historical or cultural detail that you are presenting. Consider interlinking the three objects if they are related." I have provided one image as an example of what is required.
This Gallery showcases annotated illustrations from selected Victorian illustrated books, providing information about the source text and its makers (author, artist, engraver, publisher, technologies) and analytical commentary that illumintes the image in terms of its accompanying text and surrounding context.
In this Gallery Exhibit, students in Lorraine Janzen Kooistra's Senior Capstone Seminar showcase versions of Christina Rossetti's Goblin Market held in Ryerson University Library Special Collections.
A gallery of images for HONS3260: Oscar Wilde and the art of perception
Choose an image that represents an important aspect of your research topic. Give enough detail so that an audience that might not share your knowledge base would understand what it is and how it is significant. Also be sure to explain how it relates to questions of perception or aesthetics.
This gallery is part of the ENG 272 collaborative "Age of Romanticism" Map, one element of the Image, Event, Place Project. Add one image that is related or relevant in some way to the work we have been reading in the first several weeks of class. Provide sufficient detail to explain the historical or cultural detail and, perhaps, how it relates to one or more literary works we have read. Be sure to cite your source(s) using MLA bibliographic conventions. One image element is included as an example.
In 1877 Annie Besant and Charles Bradlaugh published a pamphlet that advocated birth control. The pamphlet, Fruits of Philosophy by Charles Knowlton educated people on birth control methods that essentially would help the economy. If people only had the amount of children they could fiscally attend to, then the economy would be better off, or at least this was the idea. Even while this pamphlet spread and was well-read, both of them were arrested and charged. Their trial was widely known as the Knowlton trial. Eventually they were released, but Annie lost custody of her young daughter for ten years because of the fiasco. The pamphlet dealt mainly with the facts of sexual reproduction and a few methods of contraception, making this information available to almost everyone, including the poor. One of the main issues with the duo supporting and advertising the pamphlet was that Annie Besant was a woman; therefore...
Since his first appearance in Strand Magazine over a hundred years ago, Sherlock Holmes has reappeared in countless adaptations spanning across just about every artistic medium. This is to be expected, as detective fiction is one of the most heavily adapted genres in the world, constantly being remade in film and television because of its innate ability to offer commentary on cultural context whilst also providing blockbuster action moments (McGraw 11). Three recent reimaginings of the iconic Holmes character that have taken entirely different routes to offer such commentary are BBC’s Sherlock, CBS’s Elementary, and FOX’s Family Guy episode, “V is for Mystery.”...
Visual Representations in Clemence Housman’s The Were-Wolf and The New Women’s Movement
Introduction
The late 1890s was a transitional period in history that saw the rise of The New Women’s Movement, encompassing women who pushed back against the behaviours conventionally see as feminine by advocating for equal rights in areas of suffrage, education, and employment. Ideas behind the growing New Women’s Movement spilled into literary texts and illustrations of the time, such as Clemence Housman’s feminist text, The Were-Wolf (1896), which contains six illustrations by her brother, Laurence Housman. Using these images, this research project argues how the Housman siblings deliberately illustrate the female were-wolf White Fell as...
The Were-Wolf by Clemence Housman was first published as a stand-alone illustrated novella in 1896 by John Lane at The Bodley Head in London, England. The work was produced collaboratively by Clemence and her younger brother Laurence Housman, an established visual artist and author. Laurence designed six full-page illustrations to the text as well as the title page, the initial letter, and the bindings. As a skilful craftswoman, Clemence wood-engraved her brother’s illustrations by hand to be reproduced for the completed publication.
The novella made its debut at a time when challenging sociopolitical concepts of gender began to pervade public discourse. The rising women's suffrage movement, and their campaign for equal enfranchisement at the fin-de-siècle,...

"Drink Me," by John Tenniel forLewis Carroll's Alice (1865), colorized for The Nursery Alice (1890)
The nineteenth century witnessed a gradual shift in ideologies of childhood--from sin to innocence. The doctrine of sin dates to Eve’s eating of the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden in Genesis. This view--dominant in the literature given to children in the seventeenth, eighteenth, and nineteenth centuries--aims to cleanse sinners of innate wickedness. Didactic texts, often called “awful example” stories, teach Christian virtues and contain tales of children making mistakes and facing consequences,...
