Prostitute, adulteress, unmarried woman who engages in sexual
relations, victim of seduction-the Victorian "fallen woman"
represents a complex array of stigmatized conditions. Amanda
Anderson here reconsiders the familiar figure of the fallen woman
within the context of mid-Victorian debates over the nature of
selfhood, gender, and agency. In richly textured readings of works
by Charles Dickens, Elizabeth Gaskell, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, and
Elizabeth Barrett Browning, among others, she argues that
depictions of fallen women express profound cultural anxieties
about the very possibility of self-control and traditional moral
responsibility.
