This book explores the extent to which four sensation novelists contributed to the Victorian redefinition of professionalism. Through an analysis of works authored by Wilkie Collins, Mary Elizabeth Braddon, Charles Reade and Ellen Wood, Costantini shows how the sensation genre was an important forum for the age’s controversial rethinking of professional ideals and standards
