The Victorian novel was forged in the Victorian Era, hence it is impossible to conceive it without the understanding of the context in which it sprouted. The Victorian Era comprises the reign of the Queen Victoria, from her ascension to the throne in 1837 until her death 1901 (and subsequent coronation of Edward).

“I wonder if I 've been changed in the night? Let me think: was I the same when I got up this morning? I almost think I can remember feeling a little different. But if I 'm not the same, the next question is, who in the world am I? Ah, THAT 'S the great puzzle! '” (Carroll) This quote is from the author of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Lewis Carroll.

I believe the book was started by using this scene because he wanted
