Hello everyone,

I am currently writing my Master's thesis on perceptions of death and proper ways of mourning in Victorian England. I am analyzing samples of life writing and comparing those depicitions of grief and death to examples in popular literature.

I am struggling to find th eliterature though! So far I have Thomas Hardy's Tess of the D'Urbervilles, Dickens' Old Curiosity Shop, and possible North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell.

I am looking for book recommendations that:
  • Fall into the Victorian era published by authors from the UK
  • Depict some sort of death, funeral, expression of grief.
  • ** Bonus points if it has a woman dying
I wouldn't mine poems either.

Thank you!
-M
