I agree, it is very dark. However, I must commend the author and the producers for doing such a good job in representing the Satanic cult religion. And no, it doesn’t end very happily, although it hasn’t really finished yet I don’t think.

Thank you for the article! It was a great read!

I agree with the anxiety of regressive evolution in the Victorian era, but would also like to posit a notion that it has not disappeared, but rather grown. I suggest that the fear of backwards evolution has become so great that modern literature chooses instead to focus on the dystopian world caused by catastrophe, or the utopian world of pure perfection.

What do you think?

Great article! I found it extremely interesting. I have never heard of her before, and I am well versed in poetry, so I am also unsure why she has been neglected. Her writing is immaculate, such a pure form of the sonnet style. Thank you! I will be sure to look at more of her writings.

Great article! I completely agree with you on everything that you have said. The elements of Victorian literature that you have pointed out are exactly the reasons why they resonate with me, in particular. Thank you!

I wonder how it is that we have strayed so far from character driven novels, where the complexities of characters are no longer as important that the drama of the plot. Charles Dickens was a master character builder, which is one of the reasons why I love his writing so much.

Let us plea for a return to this golden age of literature, where the content of our modern novels may therefore resonate with us like these classics do.
