With the character of the doctor as her subject, Tabitha Sparks follows the decline of the marriage plot in the Victorian novel. As Victorians came to terms with the scientific revolution in medicine of the mid-to-late nineteenth century, the novel's progressive distance from the conventions of the marriage plot can be indexed through a rising identification of the doctor with scientific empiricism. A narrative's stance towards scientific reason, Sparks argues, is revealed by the fictional doctor's relationship to the marriage plot. Thus, novels that feature romantic doctors almost invariably deny the authority of empiricism, as is the case in George MacDonald's Adela Cathcart. In contrast, works such as Wilkie Collins's Heart and Science, which highlight clinically minded or even sinister doctors, uphold the determining logic of science and, in turn, threaten the novel's romantic plot. By focusing on the figure of the doctor rather than on a scientific theme or medical field, Sparks emulates the Victorian novel's personalization of tropes and belief systems, using the realism associated with the doctor to chart the sustainability of the Victorian novel's central imaginative structure, the marriage plot. As the doctors Sparks examines increasingly stand in for the encroachment of empirical knowledge on a morally formulated artistic genre, their alienation from the marriage plot and its interrelated decline succinctly herald the end of the Victorian era and the beginning of Modernism.

Excerpt from Elizabeth Glen. M. B: The Experiences of a Lady Doctor Presently I laid down the paper, and gazing intently into the fire, ruminated upon a matter which was troubling me considerably - the choice of a subject It was not that I lacked material; the point was to find something at once personal and interesting. Sitting there, in Dr. Glen's own chair, the intuition I had so longed for came to me. I would ask her permission to record her experiences. Many of them I knew, some of them I had shared. My mind Was illumined by this brilliant idea when I heard her latchkey in the door, and her firm but light foot coming towards the room where I sat.
