These representations of masculinity are marked by uncanniness, pervasive tensions, and liberatory possibilities, and enriched by generic and visual features. ![]() Beginning with the premise that neo-Victorian films and television programmes set in the late-Victorian era offer especially rich objects of study for those interested in gender and sexuality, this article explores how masculinity is constructed and problematised in Sherlock Holmes (2009), Crimson Peak (2015), Ripper Street (2012-2016), and Penny Dreadful (2014-2016). ![]()

The Rubenstein Library’s History of Medicine Collections has material related to the history of epidemics, pandemics, and infectious disease. While most of us have more immediate concerns – from job security to our own physical and mental health – it is worth considering the roots of now-common disease maps or the idea of “social distancing” to slow infection rates.
