Focusing on the life and legacy of Inspector General James Barry, this cultural history delves into the complexities of his representation from Victorian times to modern neo-Victorian interpretations. It examines the interplay of biography, biofiction, and biodrama, highlighting how Barry's identity is shaped by imaginative and speculative narratives rather than a singular truth. The text emphasizes the fluidity of gender and genre, illustrating how Barry's story reflects broader themes of boundary transgression and the constructed nature of identity in cultural discourse.
