This book, based on recent scholarship, examines the concept of 'difference' in the Victorian era, a period during which cultural perceptions of sex and gender roles were in unprecedented flux. The author argues that, in spite of the dominant rhetoric of sexual difference, the period was marked by a tolerance for non-normative genders and sexualities, which manifested in diverse literary and cultural forms. The book explores these gender expressions through the prism of Gothic and sensation literature, arguing that these genres both reflected and contributed to a nuanced and complex understanding of gender identity, desire and sexuality. The author makes perceptive connections between literary representations and historical case studies, demonstrating that in Victorian Britain, 'difference' was not always a term of exclusion, but sometimes one of intrigue and acceptance.
