My project investigates depictions of female "afflicttion" in Neo-Victorian fiction (1980-2010s) embracing a Femininst Disability Studies perspective, whose critical theorisation coincides with the just-mentioned timescale of reference. In its interdisciplinarity, it rests on the following prerequisites: Literary Disability Studies' proliferation within English Studies and more so in Victorian novels, the conceptualization of Neo-Victorian engagements as both mirrors for 19th century concerns and as renegotiations on the historical past. In such a metafictional framework, the project takes into account a feminist-driven perspective and potential activistic outcomes resulting from female non-ablebodiedness’ imaging and sexuality. At the center of my research and in selecting Poor Things (1992) and Alias Grace (1996) as primary texts lies a congruous understanding of Neo-Victorian fiction marked by historical consciousness, and holding socio-historical critical potentiality that can provide wisdom in relation to both 19th century and contemporary concerns.
