Somnambulism, Sleepwalking and Secrets in Victorian Literature

About the Book

Never has the role of women in society been so convoluted as the Victorian era. From gracious to the grotesque, repressed to the risque, it would be an understatement to suggest that the Victorian was the embodiment of all that is meant to be pure. In this book, the author seeks to delve deeper into the minds of characters in Victorian literature to ascertain just how unstable and universal the issues of suppression the issues of secrets have on these characters.
