| Description |
"In this paper, I argue that Victorian novelists capitalized on the preconceptions of their culture regarding the detection of villainy to create tension within their texts, revealing an anxiety that, within a complex society, the identification and eradication of evil becomes difficult, if not impossible, and results in the victimization and the corruption of 'innocents.' I will examine this anxiety using two seminal sensation novels: The Woman in White and Lady Audley's Secret." |
