Through a vigorous analysis of Oliver Twist (1838) and David Copperfield (1850) by Charles Dickens, Wuthering Heights (1847) by Emily Brontë and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall (1848) by Anne Brontë, the intent of this dissertation is to examine how literature of the Victorian era reflects a disciplinary age. Using Michael Foucault's Discipline and Punish: The Birth of the Prison (1977) as a key theoretical source, this discussion will track the development of the modern prison through my literary texts.
