Can someone please tell me what the "Victorientalism" hoopla I've been seeing references to is about, without my having to trudge through links (I'm having 5-10~ minutes internet time at a go while the nephews are here)?  I am assuming it involves the fetishization of Oriental cultures in Victorican set fiction, but won't really have time to look into it for the next couple days.
