Victorian cultures of liminality: borders and margins

The essays here grew out of the Borders and Margins Colloquium, held at Leeds Trinity University, UK, in April 2010, which was the fourth in a series of colloquia.

This collection, moreover, contributes to a growing area of scholarship which explores Anglo-French interactions and exchanges.

In choosing the term 'liminality', the editors are aware of its nuanced implications, allowing suggestions both of the initial and the transitional.
