This presentation approaches one representative text – The Dark Clue (2001) by James Wilson – which displays a particular oxymoronic fusion: nostalgic returns to certain narrative strategies of Victorian writing and the use of metafictional strategies which, however, abstain from both pyrotechnic self-reflexive experimentation and short-circuiting of immersive reading experiences. The work postulates a new double coding whereby the category of novel analyzed represents a search for neomorphic possibilities in the face of the exhaustion of the metafictional features most closely associated with a postmodernist poetics, and therefore, part of a style of culture – known as postmodernism – but without failing to subscribe to a thematic agenda that responds to a postmodern style of thought – or postmodernity, according to Terry Eagleton’s distinction. El presente trabajo es parte de una investigación mayor sobre el neovictorianismo que indaga sobre las funciones de la subversión y la nostalgia en un corpus de novelas neovictorianas anglófonas posmileniales. Esta presentación aborda una novela representativa –The Dark Clue (2001) de James Wilson–, que despliega una particular amalgama oximorónica: retornos nostálgicos a ciertos componentes de la escritura de la era victoriana y el empleo de recursos metaficcionales que, sin embargo, se abstienen de la experimentación autorreflexiva pirotécnica y de la obstaculización de experiencias de lectura inmersiva. El trabajo postula una nueva doble codificación por la que la especie de novela analizada estaría representando una búsqueda de neomorfismos ante el posible agotamiento de los aspectos metaficcionales más directamente vinculados con una poética posmoderna y, por ende, parte de un estilo de cultura –o posmodernismo–, pero sin dejar de suscribir a líneas de interrogación y agendas temáticas que responden a un estilo de pensamiento posmoderno o posmodernidad, según la distinción que propone Terry Eagleton.
