Abstract This chapter discusses the theme of this volume which is about violence in the language of Victorian novels. It analyzes the works of several notable Victorian writers including Charles Dickens, Anne Brontë, George Eliot and Thomas Hardy using narratography. It explains that narratography is the apprehension of mediated narrative increments as traced out in prose or image by the analytic act of reading. This chapter argues that novel violence violates not the literary community but the linguistic norm through their calculated deviance.
