Abstract
The female trickster in selected works of mid-Victorian fantasy functions in the various narratives to reveal a social metacommentary on the female body, voice and agency in this period. This essay explores how these tricksters are caught in traditional romantic binary oppositions of feminity, but also manage to undermine these conventional representations via the liminal trickster energy.
