Any good literature set during the Victorian Era? That isn't YA hopefully. I remember really liking the setting as a kid reading The Golden Compass and Bartimaeus series, but the only thing I can remember reading as an adult taking place in that era was From Hell. It can be fantasy or sci-fi or whatever I don't really care as long as it's good.

Just getting in to this myself, so far I've been binge reading Dickens. Don't get all the hate for him because I fucking love it so far. This thread had better survive.

What about literature written during the Victorian Era that uses geometry and dimensions to satirise and critique Victorian society?

walter benjamin's arcades project- massive, encyclopedic, unfinished- attempts to map the psychogeographical subconscious of 19th century Paris.

But aphasia is a disturbance of speech that usually is localized in the left temporal and frontal lobe. It doesn't cause hallucinations.

This is why I prefer /fit/.

>London. Michaelmas term lately over, and the Lord Chancellor sitting in Lincoln’s Inn Hall. Implacable November weather. As much mud in the streets as if the waters had but newly retired from the face of the earth, and it would not be wonderful to meet a Megalosaurus, forty feet long or so, waddling like an elephantine lizard up Holborn Hill. Smoke lowering down from chimney-pots, making a soft black drizzle, with flakes of soot in it as big as full-grown snowflakes—gone into mourning, one might imagine, for the death of the sun. Dogs, undistinguishable in mire. Horses, scarcely better; splashed to their very blinkers. Foot passengers, jostling one another’s umbrellas in a general infection of ill temper, and losing their foot-hold at street-corners, where tens of thousands of other foot passengers have been slipping and sliding since the day broke (if this day ever broke), adding new deposits to the crust upon crust of mud, sticking at those points tenaciously to the pavement, and accumulating at compound interest.
Dickens later novels are great don't let anyone tell you otherwise.You can see why Bleak House was one of Kafka's favourite books.
