Aestheticism and the Marriage Market in Victorian Popular Fiction
The Art of Female Beauty
About this book
Based on close readings of five Victorian novels, Hallum presents an original study of the interaction between popular fiction, the marriage market and the aesthetic movement. She uses the texts to trace the development of aestheticism, examining the differences between the authors, including their approach, style and gender.
