              Interview with Caroline Duvezin-Caubet: Queerness in Neo-Victorian Literature (1:38:40)↑ 
              Consulting Fans: Finnagain,  Caroline Duvezin-Caubet, Producer/Editor: Finnagain
              Finnagain interviews Dr. Caroline Duvezin-Caubet on queerness in neo-victorian romances and her recent paper titled “Gaily Ever After”. The conversation covers about changing depictions of queerness within this setting, and the ways authors bring happily ever after to queer characters within the constraints of Victorian England.
