The collected essays in this “Vernacular Victoria” issue explore representations of Queen Victoria in Indian languages. They study how complex practices of loyalty to monarchical forms of authority enabled Indians to create and inhabit their diverse lifeworlds. They analyze how the uneven socialization of print and the complex cultures of literary production in colonial India shaped articulations of loyalty. “Vernacular Victoria” is about histories of Indian aspirations and negotiations, celebrations and disappointments. Victoria enables this special issue to contribute to a more global understanding of the field known as Victorian studies.
