The nineteenth century saw unprecedented developments in medical science\, which caused simultaneously wonder and anxiety in the wider public. Victorian popular authors such as Wilkie Collins\, Florence Marryat\, Charles Dickens\, and Mary Elizabeth Braddon enthusiastically explored the themes of medicine and surgical innovation in their work\, exploiting their sensational potential. At the same time\, the hopes and controversies generated by advancements in the medical field were often the subject of public debate via newspapers\, magazines\, and cartoons. Covering a wide range of topics going from class and gender\, to ethics\, to space\, to mental health\, and fin-de-siécle literature\, this Study Day aims to involve academics to a variety of disciplines in the exploration and discussion of the fascinating intermingle between literature and science in the Victorian era. \n  \nDuring the Study Day\, it will be possible to visit the exhibition Medicine and Mystery in C19th Galway”\, Curated by Anna Gasperini and Paul Rooney. \nRegister at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/vpfa-study-day-medicine-mystery-the-dark-side-of-science-in-victorian-fiction-tickets-34605683531 \nFor those who may wish to attend the conference dinner at Mona Lisa Restaurant\, Galway\, please contact us at medicineandmystery19@gmail.com \n  \n08:45 – 9:15 Registration and Opening Remarks \n09: 15 Keynote 1 – Ms Sarah Wise\, Author – room G010 \n‘Mr Gilbert’s weird psychological novel’: Shirley Hall Asylum and Victorian states of mind \nChair: Anna Gasperini\, NUI Galway \n10:15 Tea break \n10:40 PARALLEL SESSION 1 \nGender and Class – room G010 \nPanel Chair: Eavan O’Dochartaigh\, NUI Galway \nSara Zadrozny\, University of Portsmouth – Medicine and Victorian notions of gender \nAbby Boucher\, Aston University\, Birmingham – Fashionable Illness: Consumerism\, Medicine\, and Class in the Silver Fork Novels \nRuth Doherty\, Trinity College Dublin – ‘But you and I may say the truth’: reproduction and infection in late nineteenth-century fiction \nSpaces and Bodies – room G011 \nPanel Chair: Paul Rooney\, NUI Galway \nLouise Benson James\, University of Bristol – Sick Rooms\, Death-Beds\, and Operating Theatres: Gothic Medical Spaces in the Fiction of Lucas Malet (1852-1931) \nNeil MacFarlane\, Independent Scholar – ‘Full of fire and animation’: sthenic corpulence in Dickens’s fiction  \n12:00 LUNCH \n13:30 Keynote 2 – Mr Alexander Black\, Department of Anatomy\, NUI Galway \nThe Early Years of Anatomy in Galway \nThe keynote will be in NUI Galway’s Anatomy Lecture Theatre \nChair: Anna Gasperini\, NUI Galway \n14:50 PARALLEL SESSION 2 \nMedicine and Ethics – room G010 \nPanel chair: Ciaran McDonough\, NUI Galway \nJennifer Jones\, University of Portsmouth – ‘“[M]erely a question of being the first time”’: Scientific Overreach and Middle-Class Masculinity \nDebbie Harrison\, Independent Scholar – Body of evidence: Forensic science\, psychology and the doctor-detective in “The Moonstone” and “Middlemarch” \nChristopher Pittard\, University of Portsmouth – Loveday Brooke\, Experimental Physiology\, and the Crimes of Animality \nFin-de-siècle – room G011  \nPanel Chair: Muireann O’Cinneide\, NUI Galway \nJames Machin\, Birkbeck University of London – “A slight lesion in the grey matter\, that is all”: fin-de-siécle medical practice in Arthur Machen’s weird fiction \nCaitlin R.
