Reviews

Extremely well researched and well written, this book melds an intelligent reading of imagery and story with a nuanced theoretical framework, a good sense of historical context and social history, and a genuine concern for domestic violence against women in the nineteenth century. I find this book very illuminating. - Joseph Adamson, coeditor of Scenes of Shame: Psychoanalysis, Shame, and Writing This reading of domestic violence, which is 'behind the scenes' in several senses, is intellectually important, and speaks to a wide variety of issues in Victorian studies, feminism, legal studies, and psychoanalysis. - Randall Craig, author of Promising Language: Betrothal in Victorian Law and Fiction
