Description:... By focusing on the figure of the doctor rather than on a scientific theme or medical field, Tabitha Sparks emulates the Victorian novel's personalisation of tropes and belief systems, using the realism associated with the doctor to chart the sustainability of the Victorian novel's central imaginative structure, the marriage plot.
