We are welcoming St Andrews lecturer and author of Inventing Edward Lear Sara Lodge to our bookshop with her new research on female relevance in the Victorian era.
From Wilkie Collins to the adventures of Sherlock Holmes, the traditional image of the Victorian detective is male. Few people realise that women detectives successfully investigated Victorian Britain, working both with the police and for private agencies, which they sometimes managed themselves.
