This essay aims to explore A. S. Byatt's neo-Victorian novel in terms of her genealogical analysis of totalizing power focusing on how it is manipulated and deployed to form a dominant archive of knowledge. In doing so, it also examines how history can be used as genealogy to question and re-examine ideological assumptions about the Victorian era in The Children's Book (2009). The essay brings together these overlapping themes of power and genealogy to show how the neo-Victorian novel provides strategies for empowerment and resistance to totalizing pressures.
