This anthology collects Victorian short stories on the theme of courtship — tales of love, attraction, and the rituals of romantic pursuit from a range of authors writing in the latter half of the nineteenth century. The collection offers a varied and entertaining sample of the short-story form as it flourished in the magazines and literary journals of the Victorian era.
Together these stories illuminate the period’s attitudes to gender, love, and social convention from multiple perspectives and voices. Download this free EPUB from Better Gutenberg for a delightful dip into the lighter fiction of the Victorian age.
