The main purpose of this research project is to analyse the major female figures in
Wilkie Collins' work of fiction The Law and the Lady, in relation to the times in
which the novel was produced and the situation of women in the Victorian era. After
taking into account the major events of the life of the author, as well as the sociohistorical
conditions of the Victorian period, I try to reach conclusions about
whether the author challenges gender-role expectations, presenting the readers
with a new form of femininity, of if, on the contrary, he preserves and maintains a
conservative, traditional perspective of femininity and female conventions proper to
the established parameters of the times in which he lived.
