AB The purpose of this study is to prove the subversion of the figure of the Victorian woman in Sarah Waters’ neo-Victorian novel Fingersmith. Fingersmith follows the story of two women tangled in a web of lies and manipulations that will ultimately fall in love with each other in the process. Lesbian representation in literature is especially worthy of recovering and elevating, since it is lacking as opposed to the amount of literature that the gay community can claim from the Victorian period. Following the research from different critics in the background of the Victorian era, gender roles, feminism and lesbian fiction we will analyse how Sarah Waters female protagonists fit into their theories and if they, in fact, succeed in subverting the stereotype of the Victorian woman.
