Editors’ Introduction

The tenth annual conference of the North American Victorian Studies Association met in Madison, Wisconsin in September of 2012 to explore the broad theme of “Victorian Networks.” Once again, we publish here work originally presented at the conference. We invited Jules Law, Lara Kriegel, and Linda H. Peterson each to select a cluster of three compelling papers from the conference. We publish their selections, and their responses to those selections, in the pages that follow.

NAVSA’s eleventh annual conference will be held in Pasadena, California October 23–27, 2013, exploring the theme of “Evidence.” For more information on the organization and the annual conference, see its website:
