Abstract

[The chapter examines the image of the emasculated male, whose condition is not always due to some domineering, seductive red-haired woman as discussed in Chapter 3, but due to their own red hair. This would include the most famous controversial redhead of the Victorian period, Algernon Swinburne. The chapter studies the effect of Grace Poole on Rochester in Sarah Shoemaker’s Mr. Rochester (2017). Also considered are Dickens’ redheads followed by Lucinda Coxon’s film adaptation (2018) of Sarah Water’s The Little Stranger (2009) in which the very red-haired Domhnall Gleeson plays Dr. Faraday. The final treatment is of Lucinda Coxon’s film adaptation (2015) of David Ebershoff’s book, The Danish Girl (2000).]
