Alfred Lord Tennyson’s 1842 poem, “ The Lady of Shalott” Alfred Lord Tennyson. This ideological notion of the Victorian woman is widely portrayed within various Victorian works. While men actively participated in the public, women were unable to engage in the outside world because it would taint their feminine virtue.

Abnett’s prose is tight, his grip on characters and plot are great. But with the upcoming rerelease of Pariah and the release of Penitent, I can’t hold of any longer, and Dan Abnett has once again pulled me back into the grim dark world of the forty-first millennium. ![]() ![]() Since Ravenor is the successor to Eisenhorn, perhaps it’s not so surprising Xenos has taken me this long to read. That being said, I didn’t enjoy his Ravenor trilogy all that much. I’m a big fan of Abnett’s work, particularly the Sabbat Worlds material. A little surprising then, that I’ve never taken the time to read it.
