This essay surveys the variant meanings and uses of the term “girl” caused by gender, age, class, race, and etymological differences. It argues that the extremes of idealization and contempt expressed toward girls and through the figure of the girl accentuate the girl's use as a fulcrum for assigning value in Victorian literature and culture.

This essay on the “English-speaking Caribbean” reflects on pasts that have not passed but have instead been passed on, for example in gestures of erasure, silence, or genteel substitution, whether in the Victorian novel or the twenty-first-century novel that insistently returns to the past, or in the rhetoric of law and statecraft. In addition, I consider how Victorianism has reproduced itself in postcolonial Caribbean and British life, with consequences for Black intimacy and kinship.

In this article I argue for the relevance of examining tolerance in Victorian literature in its specificity and particularly as distinct from sympathy. Following a recent reconceptualization of tolerance in philosophy and political theory, I argue for recovering the relevance of its roots in the Latin term tolerare , which means “to suffer,” “to endure,” and suggest that Victorian novels explore the cognitive, emotional, and physical pains involved in tolerance. Victorian studies thus add an important perspective to current discussions of tolerance, while, conversely, a focus on tolerance in Victorian literature reveals an important category as yet overshadowed by the strong focus on sympathy in the field.

Talk of meaning and meaningfulness, ubiquitous today, only emerges in the nineteenth century. This emergence remains to be explained and calls into question accounts of modernity that treat “meaning” as a stable, timeless concept.

Nineteenth-century piracy expressed a winking attitude toward many widespread forms of unauthorized reuse and thus conditioned the emergence of vast, innovative, and dynamic pan-media and transnational networks of aesthetic communications.

In the mid-twentieth century, the term environmentalism became commonly used to refer to efforts to protect the natural environment from human abuse and disrespect. Attitudes to safeguarding the environment, however, had already been taking shape for some time, based on interpretive practices that affirmed the values, needs, and desires of some people and not others, and rarely those of nonhuman animals. Changing perceptions of species, race, gender, class, and wealth influenced who had the privilege, knowledge, and opportunity to recognize abuses of nature, envision environmentalist possibilities, and act on them. Philip P. Morgan observes, for example, in a study of Caribbean ecology across centuries, that global capitalism, extractivism, and ecological dispossession have skewed which parts of the human population and the natural world have been recognized as worthy of attention and the forms this attention has taken.
在二十世纪中期，环保主义一词被广泛用于指保护自然环境免受人类虐待和不尊重的努力。然而，保护环境的态度已经形成了一段时间，其基础是肯定一些人的价值观、需求和欲望，而不是其他人，很少是非人类动物的价值观、需求和欲望。对物种、种族、性别、阶级和财富观念的改变影响了那些拥有特权、知识和机会的人，他们认识到对自然的滥用，设想环保主义的可能性，并采取行动。例如，菲利普·p·摩根(Philip P. Morgan)在对几个世纪以来加勒比海生态的研究中观察到，全球资本主义、采掘主义和对生态的剥夺已经扭曲了哪些部分的人口和自然世界被认为是值得关注的，以及这种关注采取的形式。

Raymond Williams influentially claimed that the history of the English novel could be organized through the problem of the “knowable community.” This keyword entry rehearses, clarifies, and extends the idea of the “knowable” in Williams's theory of the novel. I argue that the dialectical (neither entirely subjective nor entirely objective) dimension of the concept has been overlooked, with attendant consequences for the important transition between George Eliot and Thomas Hardy in Williams's account.
