In ‘Connie’ the characters who adhere to the ideology of Liberal capitalism are positioned as the melodramatic villains of the piece and it is these characters, rather than the traditional aristocratic group, who threaten and oppress the working-class Connie. Class position is presented as less important than the particular political narratives and the melodramatic villains are Connie’s Jewish employer and the upper-class Diana. Both place Connie under considerable pressure: the former to engage in sexual relations with him in exchange for financial reward and the continuation of her employment, the latter to separate her from Humphry and in the process making Connie homeless. Although Diana is a member of the gentry (Diana and Humphry’s father is the landowner, Squire Munro) her unsentimental business acumen and desire to increase her family’s wealth presents a sharp contrast to the Tory paternalism of the Squire and Humphry’s sense of honour and tradition. The publication of this serial within the pages of the Labour Elector will also be considered as the proprietor, Champion, and the editor at this period, Michael Maltman Barry, held Tory-socialist ideas. The chapter will consider the relevance of the serial to the periodical as a whole, the ambitions of Champion in the socialist movement, and some of the ways in which this unfinished piece may have been moving towards a conclusion.Item Metadata only English Socialist periodicals, 1880-1900: a reference source(Aldershot: Ashgate, 2005) Mutch, DeborahItem Metadata only Item Embargo Intemperate Narratives:: Tory Tipplers, Liberal Abstainers, and Victorian British Socialist Fiction(Cambridge University Press, 2008) Mutch, DeborahThis article discusses the attitudes to and representations of alcohol consumption in the journalism and literature of four Victorian British socialist periodicals: Robert Blatchford's Clarion, the Social Democratic Federation's Justice, Keir Hardie's Labour Leader and Joseph Burgess's Workman's Times.Item Metadata only Introduction: 'a swarm of chuffing draculas': the vampire in English and American literature.(Palgrave Macmillan, 2013) Mutch, DeborahItem Metadata only John Law (Margaret Harkness), A City Girl(Victorian Secrets, 2015-09-03) Mutch, DeborahA scholarly edited edition of A City Girl (1887) with Introduction, Author Biography and Timeline.Item Open Access ‘The Long Recuperation: Late-Nineteenth/Early-Twentieth Century British Socialist Periodical Fiction’(Key Words, 2014) Mutch, DeborahThis essay posits some explanations of why the phenomenally popular fictions of two socialist authors from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries (Charles Allen Clarke (1863-1935) and A. Neil Lyons (1880-1940)) are now largely forgotten. The serial and short fictions written by these authors had a large readership as they were initially published through the two best-selling socialist periodicals of this era: Clarke through his own Teddy Ashton’s Journal/Northern Weekly (1896-1908) and Lyons through Robert Blatchford’s Clarion (1891-1934). The essay applies some of Raymond Williams’s ideas and theories on the ‘judgment’ and hierarchy imposed on literature to discuss the reasons why these respected and popular authors have been buried by literary history. For Williams, ‘judgment’ separates the ‘good’, mainstream literature from the ‘poor’, dissident fiction and creates a hierarchy based on ‘deviations’ from the mainstream ‘norms’ of genre, community, shared history, global events and regionalism.Item Metadata only Matt Haig's The Radleys: vampires for the neoliberal age.(Palgrave Macmillan, 2013) Mutch, DeborahItem Open Access The merrie England triptych: Robert Blatchford, Edward Fay and the diadactic use of clarion fiction(Victorian Periodicals Review, 2005-03-01) Mutch, DeborahThis article discusses the importance of the serialised fiction published at the same time as Robert Blatchford's socialist polemic 'Merrie England'. It argues that the surrounding fiction expanded and elaborated the political arguments and ideas raised in Blatchford's vision, and that publication outside of the Clarion necessitated additional text to fill the gaps previously filled by the serial fiction.Item Metadata only The Modern Vampire and Human Identity(Palgrave, 2012) Mutch, DeborahThis is a collection of essays considering the importance of the modern vampire figure in contemporary debates on human identity, humanity and the Other.
