- Victorian Culture and the Origin of Disciplines (eds. Lightman and Zon, Routledge, 2019) takes up where Evolution and Victorian Culture (eds. Lightman and Zon, Cambridge University Press, 2014) left off by theorizing the origin of disciplines in much the same way that Darwin theorizes evolution in On the Origin of Species – i.e., through evolutionary concepts of the ‘entangled bank’. From the beginning, the book’s intellectual agenda was carefully curated and managed jointly by the editors (editorial work divided equally). An eponymous international conference was planned in 2015 and held in Durham in 2016 in order to test and further develop theories resulting from predecessor Evolution and Victorian Culture. The conference facilitated the emergence of a particularly strong critical narrative, and authors who most plainly exemplified individual elements of that narrative were subsequently chosen to contribute to an edited volume. Authors were given clear information outlining the volume’s ‘thesis’ and the intended structure of individual chapters (introductory research context; case study; conclusion/future directions). The structure progresses from historical practice to theory today, from contemporary professional, educational and literary matters to topics addressing conceptual issues of disciplinarity and interdisciplinarity. Preliminary draft chapters were circulated amongst authors for discussion and cross-referencing before submission of final drafts. The conclusion was written once all final drafts were submitted: Zon wrote 80% of this and also contributed a chapter on Victorian musicology as interdiscipline.
