Petra's ( @bookswithpetra ) Victober 2023 challenge was to read a Victorian first-person narrative. Here's some reflections on how Victorian authors used first-person narrators for different effects or purposes. I thought of five and a book or two to illustrate each. Your thoughts?

Books mentioned:
David Copperfield Charles Dickens
Jill Amy Dillwyn
Jane Eyre Charlotte Bronte
Aurora Leigh Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Carmilla Sheridan Le Fanu
Dracula Bram Stoker
Three Men in a Boat Jerome K Jerome
