Getting the father back: the orphan's oath in Florence Marryat's Her Father's Name and R. D. Blackmore's Erema

    Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

    Abstract

    Coupling two stories of orphaned daughters who must clear the names of their fathers, this chapter considers the importance that notions of lineage and inheritance have not only for children remembering their parents but for authors allying themselves in the 1870s to the tradition of sensation fiction.
