An era marked by sweeping change, the age of Queen Victoria was a time
of rapid modernization as well as social and political upheaval, which
is reflected in its literature. Bridging the gap between the Romantic
and Modern traditions, Victorian writers held a mirror to society,
chronicling the tensions between the prosperity enjoyed by a few, and
the poverty and suffering endured by so many.
Filled with captivating stories by the most iconic writers of the era
(including Oscar Wilde, Charles Dickens, Henry James, and Elizabeth
Gaskell) this collection is a fitting companion to the other titles in
our bestselling Gothic Fantasy series.
