Abstract
Chapter 10 discusses Desperate Remedies (1871) and Under the Greenwood Tree (1872) in the light of the same historical discourse. All three early novels, it is argued, obliquely satirised the Victorian sexual code from a republican standpoint and suggested the vital importance of Millite liberty.
