To some Victorian writers, the onslaught of trashy fiction described by Oliphant and Mansel was not accidentally related to the female surplus population Greg identified; redundant women were the source of such fiction. Indeed, Greg himself makes this connection, observing that a growing Victorian taste for luxury and entertainment was giving rise to
a large and increasing call for a supply of literary food, such as many well-educated women find themselves fully able to furnish; and if only those who are really competent to this work were to undertake it, it would keep them in ample independence. Novels are now almost as indispensable a portion of the food of English life as beef or beer; and no producers are superior to women, either as to delicate handling or abundant fertility. (âWhyâ 37)
