AI AI Overview

The "sensational genre" refers to the Victorian sensation novel, a literary genre popular in Britain from the late 1850s to the 1870s known for its shocking plots, melodrama, and emphasis on crime, scandals like adultery and bigamy, and the secrets hidden beneath respectable surfaces. These novels often featured psychological suspense, moral ambiguity, and a blend of gothic elements with realistic settings, exploring the darker aspects of human nature and challenging social norms through themes of hidden identities and class disparities.
