This two-day academic conference will take place between September 8–9, 2017 at St John’s College, Durham University. The conference aims to refocus Neo-Victorian studies by considering reinterpretations and representations of nineteenth-century decadence in works from the Interwar period to the present day.

We invite submissions for papers (15-20 minutes) on Neo-Victorian decadence in a wide range of fields, from literature to film, from sub-cultures to mass media, and everything in between. Abstracts of no more than 250 words will be accepted until July 2, 2017.
