Disease, Desire, and the Body in Victorian Women's Popular Novels - Cambridge Studies in Nineteenth-Century Literature and Culture
Gilbert, Pamela K. (University of Florida)
Pamela Gilbert argues that popular fiction in mid-Victorian Britain was regarded as both feminine and diseased. She discusses, in particular, work by three very popular women novelists of the time - M. E. Braddon, Rhoda Broughton, and 'Ouida' - in the context of their reception by readers and critics.
