- Charlotte Smith, The Works of Charlotte Smith, gen. ed. Stuart Curran, 5 vols. (Pickering & Chatto, 2005). First five volumes in a new scholarly edition of Smith's works; includes The Romance of Real Life/Manon L'Escaut, Emmeline, Ethelinde, Desmond, and Celestina. I'm reviewing it for Choice. For more about Smith, visit A Charlotte Smith Page; some of her sonnets are here.
- William Michael Rossetti, Selected Letters of William Michael Rossetti, ed. Roger W. Peattie (Penn State UP, 1990). A few hundred of Rossetti's letters on various and sundry topics. There are brief discussions of W. M. Rossetti's life at the Centre for Whistler Studies and the Whitman Archive; the National Portrait Gallery has a sketch of him by D. G. Rossetti.
- Robert Stewart, Henry Brougham: His Public Career, 1778-1868 (Bodley Head, 1986). Biography of the influential politician, best-known for co-founding the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge. There's a late-Victorian account of his life at the Victorian Web.
- Jennifer Green-Lewis, Framing the Victorians: Photography and the Culture of Realism (Cornell, 1997). Photography and its emergence from/influence on nineteenth-century theories of realist representation.
- Alison Smith, The Victorian Nude : Sexuality, Morality, and Art (Manchester, 1997). Emergence of the nude in Victorian painting and debates over its various manifestations (e.g., the male nude).
