This book examines the Victorian ideas of family through a queer lens. Broadening the term "queer" outside of sexuality, chapters engage with Victorian literature utilising frameworks including, animal studies, childhood studies, masculinities, disability studies, religion and literature, and studies of race and whiteness. They range in focus from explorations of 'animal children' in Wilkie Collins’s 'The Woman in White' to male kinship within and across Alfred Tennyson’s 'In Memoriam' and Herman Melville’s 'Moby-Dick'. Also covered are issues such as disability and the centrality of avuncular and sibling relationships, as well as female adolescent desires in Elizabeth Anna Hart’s popular children’s book 'The Runaway'.0This book recovers and uncovers queer Victorian relations in its manifold permutations, both literal and metaphoric. It is at the cutting edge of gender studies, queer studies, and family studies in Victorian and neo-Victorian literature and offers a wide-ranging and theoretically adventurous array of essays which grapple with the cultural and literary history of the Victorian family.
