"Embodying the Tactile in Victorian Literature: Touching Bodies/Bodies Touching" by Ann Gagné and "Touch, Sexuality, and Hands in Literature, 1740–1901" by Kimberly Cox are two books that explore the theme of touch in Victorian literature. Gagné focuses on the connection between touch and the Contagious Diseases Acts of the 1860s, arguing that the medical examinations of women can be seen as a form of sexual assault. Cox examines the portrayal of touch in various works of literature, including conduct fiction and novels by authors like Jane Austen and Charlotte Brontë. Both books offer unique insights into the role of touch in Victorian society and literature. [Extracted from the article]
