| Sumario: | This section discusses published works in 2002 about English cultural studies and prose literature during the Victorian period. New from the Oxford English Literary History series is The Victorians, 1830-1880, volume 8, by Philip Davis, in which the author focuses on, among other subjects, the effects of semi-secularization wrought by industrialization and science. The volume includes eleven chapters. Peter Hamilton and Roger Hargreave's book The Beautiful and the Damned: The Creation of Identity in Nineteenth-Century Photography is a counterpart to the National Portrait Gallery's exhibition in London, England, having as its subject photography's early development and how the different types of photography illustrate a nineteenth-century interest in classification and ordering, particularly when it comes to identifying images of the beautiful and the damned.
