Comparative notes on the context of three short stories: 'The Signalman' by Charles Dickens, 'The Man with the Twisted Lip' by Arthur Conan Doyle and 'The Red Room' by H.G. Wells.

The writer has summarised the social and historical context of the three stories to support students' understanding of the writers' differing Victorian contexts.
