Things as Yet Undone: Encountering the Past Through the Present

Neo-Victorian Young Adult Narratives is an ongoing project that seeks to provide conversation about the intensified interest and curiosity in neo-Gothic and neo-Victorian narratives for young adults and this epilogue seeks to outline areas for potential future inquiry. While this book engages with neo-Victorian young adult fiction, graphic novels, biofictions, and other narratives, it has only managed to barely touch on the multiple areas of interest—so many questions remain. To see how young adult fiction embodies steampunk, or how neo-Victorian paranormal worldbuilding works—indeed, how young adult literature continues to connect with neo-Victorianism in a “carefully impertinent” (Riley 2018, 403) manner—leaves so much more to read and see.
