VICTORIAN SENSATIONALISM.

17491. VICTORIAN SENSATIONALISM. This paper provides an overview and analysis of so-called “sensation novels” in the context of Victorian England. The aim of the paper is to determine in what ways the sensation novels and their characterization of women challenged the prevailing ideas of femininity and womanhood that existed in Victorian England. To this end, the paper examines Collins’ The Woman in White and Braddon’s Lady Audley’s Secret as the standard-setters for sensation novels, and analyzes their female heroines as definitions of both femininity and physical beauty. The sensation novel as a means of sexual empowerment for women is also considered, as well as the way in which the sensationalized portrayal of female characters in these novels may have paved the way for a women’s movement which began to rebel against their subservient position in society. Concludes that both Collins and Braddon changed the way in which Victorians thought about femininity and what it meant to be a woman, with their novels presenting new concepts of womanhood. KEYWORDS: Victorian women’s novels early feminism sensation novels sensationalism womanhood. Written 2004. MLA Style. 37 pages, 119 footnotes, 20 bibliographic sources. 8,866 words.
