Marriage gives the Victorian heroine possibilities, authority, and knowledge, while also presenting the heroine with new challenges and concerns. The journey between maiden and matron is a time of enormous upheaval in which the heroine must transform her identity and prepare for new domestic and sexual roles. My thesis explores this liminal stage between girlhood and womanhood in the Victorian novel. To support my thesis, I am using Anthony Trollope\u27s He Knew He Was Right, Charles Dickens\u27 Our Mutual Friend and George Eliot\u27s Daniel Deronda, novels that directly engage with Victorian ideas about gender, marriage and sexuality
