The Victoria Memorial in London and the Victoria MemorialHall, Calcutta, are the two most substantial and enduring commemorative schemesbuilt following the death of Queen Victoria on 23 January 1901. Both memorialsremain heritage icons, immediately recognisable parts of the urban fabric ofLondon and Calcutta. The original schemes are nonetheless notable for the imperialmyth-making and the way they place Victoria as the focal point of British rule.Moreover, both schemes foreground the question of the nature of Victoria’sagency and fashioning in relation to commemoration and hero-worship. Thestatues of Victoria by Thomas Brock at the heart of both memorials are part ofmuch grander and elaborate reshaping of the political and urban landscape, butthe commemoration of Victoria in Britain and India reveals some of thefrictions and instability around her legacy.

When William Powell Frith was asked to paint the marriage of Prince Albert and Princess Alexandra in 1863, it was impressed upon him that the “great object with the Queen herself” was that she be “unmistakably visible” in the composition. In this paper, I offer a close reading of the resulting painting and its reception, arguing that Victoria’s decision to commission the picture from Frith lent a very particular set of contexts to the form and content of her visibility. In 1863, Frith was at the height of his fame for this modern life subjects, Ramsgate Sands, Derby Day and The Railway Station. By commissioning the “successor” to this series, Queen Victoria placed herself quite deliberately into the very visible context of “modern life,” both in the painting and at the Academy. In Frith’s ingenuous composition, Victoria sits high above the crowd, clearly visible to the viewers of the picture, presiding over her citizenry and the continuation of her dynasty, even if within the space of the picture itself only the loving few can see her. Represented as both aloof from and fully present within the contemporary moment, Queen Victoria is unmistakably visible both as the vigilant monarch and the secluded widow. (This paper is part of the special issue edited by Michael Hatt and Joanna Marschner.)

After Prince Albert’s death in 1861, Queen Victoria began an extended period of mourning which remains indelibly linked to perceptions of her identity and her visual representation. For eleven years after 1861, Queen Victoria privately worked with her ministers to conduct affairs of state, while withdrawing from public life. This essay will explore how Queen Victoria used photography privately and publicly during this lengthy period of personal and political crisis. Amid rapid technological change in the creation, production and dissemination of photography, Queen Victoria was able to navigate complex societal and political boundaries and fortify her matriarchal image.

Over the past decade, several academic studies have taken nineteenth-century ageing as their topic, including Devoney Looser’s Women Writers and Old Age in Great Britain (2008), Karen Chase’s The Victorians and Old Age (2009), Kay Heath’s Aging by the Book (2009), and Alice Crossley’s special issue of Nineteenth-Century Gender Studies (2017). Following the publication of two significant new monographs — Andrea Charise’s The Aesthetics of Senescence (2020) and Jacob Jewusiak’s Aging, Duration, and the English Novel (2019) — the time is ripe for a synthesis of this dynamic cluster of scholarship, with special attention to where nineteenth-century perspectives on ageing is going, and ought to go, from here. Recorded in January 2020, this roundtable is a curated compilation of conversations with key scholars in the field: Devoney Looser (Arizona State University), David McAllister (Birkbeck, University of London), Ruth M. McAdams (Skidmore College), Jake Jewusiak (Newcastle University), and Travis Chi Wing Lau (Kenyon College). Edited by Andrea Charise, this roundtable assembles new perspectives on the present and future of nineteenth-century studies of age(ing), including: What’s next for age studies’ approaches to reading and teaching nineteenth-century texts? How might a better understanding of ‘old’ models inform our current day concerns with ageing populations and intergenerational discord? Can age studies research help make a case for the enduring role of the arts and humanities in a STEM-dominated culture? And how might attending to the old, ageing, and obsolete help address newly emergent global crises, including the rise of populism and climate change? Accessible in both audio format and textual transcription, this roundtable interview offers a timely resource for researchers, students, and a broader public interested in the literary present and futures of ageing and older age.
在过去的十年里，一些学术研究已经把19世纪的老龄化作为他们的主题，包括Devoney Looser的《英国的女作家和老年》(2008)，Karen Chase的《维多利亚时代和老年》(2009)，Kay Heath的《书本上的老龄化》(2009)，以及Alice Crossley的《19世纪性别研究》特刊(2017)。随着Andrea Charise的《衰老美学》(2020)和Jacob Jewusiak的《衰老、持续时间和英语小说》(2019)这两本重要的新专著的出版，对这一动态学术集群进行综合的时机已经成熟，特别关注19世纪关于衰老的观点正在走向何方，以及应该走向何方。记录在2020年1月，这个圆桌会议是与该领域的主要学者对话的策划汇编:Devoney Looser(亚利桑那州立大学)，David McAllister(伦敦大学伯克贝克分校)，Ruth M. McAdams(斯基德莫尔学院)，Jake Jewusiak(纽卡斯尔大学)和Travis Chi Wing Lau(凯尼恩学院)。这个圆桌会议由Andrea Charise编辑，汇集了关于19世纪年龄研究的现在和未来的新观点，包括:年龄研究在阅读和教授19世纪文本方面的下一步是什么?对“旧”模式的更好理解，会如何影响我们当前对人口老龄化和代际不和的关注?年龄研究是否有助于证明艺术和人文学科在stem主导的文化中发挥的持久作用?关注老年人、老龄化和落伍人群如何有助于解决新出现的全球危机，包括民粹主义的兴起和气候变化?这次圆桌访谈以音频和文本两种形式提供，为研究人员、学生和对老龄化和老年文学的现状和未来感兴趣的更广泛的公众提供了及时的资源。

The Introduction highlights broad developments within age studies reflected in this issue of 19. Detecting a shift in emphasis away from concern with representations of the old, it explores heuristic forms of attention to the processes of ageing, its meanings, and its biopolitics across the life course. Queer temporalities are a distinct area of critical interest: the non-normative experiences of time generated through narrative attention to non-aligned age perspectives;subjective immersion in the tempos of later life;and — for more radically experimental writers — deliberate departure from age-related ‘realism’ about time. Fruitful connections are opened up here with queer theory, disability studies, and ‘crip time’ theory, admitting allied investments in diversifying expectations for the temporal horizon and subjective experience of living across time. A second area of concentration activates older perspectives and portrays older subjects as representatives of history in ways that lend critical purchase on the present moment. Contributions to the issue show these deployments of old age as ‘anachronism’ serving a wide variety of political agendas. Considering the articles in their historical context of publication, the Covid-19 pandemic, and testing their political claims against the greater visibility it has given to the precariousness of late life, the Introduction predicts an intensification of interest in the activist credentials of age studies, with stronger emphasis to be expected on frameworks of care.
