The Rise and Fall of the Femme Fatale: From Gothic Ghosts to
Victorian Vamps explores the femme fatale's career in
nineteenth-century British literature. It traces her evolution-and
devolution-formally, historically, and ideologically through a
selection of plays, poems, novels, and personal correspondence.
Considering well-known fatal women alongside more obscure ones, The
Rise and Fall of the Femme Fatale sheds new light on emerging
notions of gender, sexuality, and power throughout the long
nineteenth century. By placing the fatal woman in a still
developing literary and cultural narrative, this study examines how
the femme fatale adapts over time, reflecting popular tastes and
socio-economic landscapes.
