The collection embodies the essence of the late 19th-century literary context, reflecting the cultural anxieties and shifting moral landscapes of a rapidly industrializing society, while also invoking elements of the supernatural that challenge the rationality of the era. Mary Elizabeth Braddon, a pioneering feminist writer, gained prominence in the Victorian literary scene with her bold exploration of female agency and intricate character studies.
