Includes bibliographical references (pages 101-105)

Braddon and the sensation phenomenon -- "A bitter thing it is to be poor": Lady Audley's secret -- "Spoiled child of fortune": Aurora Floyd -- "Half a victory": Eleanor's victory -- The sensation influence.

Mary Elizabeth Braddon's fiction challenged conventional assumptions about the feminine and spoke to women's growing discontent with their limited roles as daughters, wives, and mothers. Her novels suggest how a number of women became frauds, in the sense of using deception, inventing false identities, and committing crimes in order to meet conventional society's expectations for the proper female. Braddon's female frauds subverted dominant Victorian ideology's representation of women as domestic ideals by defying the impractical and impossible role of "angel" and rejecting gender and class-based discrimination. --from publisher description.
