This dissertation examines the evolution of the relationship among fictive sisters as portrayed by authors of the nineteenth-century British novel as well as by that of one American counterpart. Among the sororal issues addressed in this work are those pertaining to sororal differentiation, sibling birth order, multiple sisters, sisters impinged upon by men, the coopting of the role of rescuing hero by the sister, and the eclipsing of biological sisterhood by the metaphoric. The dissertation claims as its scope the better part of the nineteenth century, with one significant foray into the early twentieth century that sounds the sororal echo of its predecessors; E.M. Forster follows on the fictions of Jane Austen in addition to those of Charlotte Bronte, Elizabeth Gaskell, Louisa May Alcott, Sir Walter Scott, George Eliot, Wilkie Collins, and George Gissing. It is my contention that these authors script worlds in which women are imagined as empowered and having agency. In addition, this dissertation grants focus to the varying degrees of consanguinity impacting the level of metaphoric relevance embedded within the texts. The lessening of blood ties becomes significant with the progression from fully biologically-linked sisters, to half-sisters, to stepsisters, to females related through marriage but not by blood, to completely non-consanguineous females The examined works envision women bound together in a mutually supportive, communally elevating union, with the sororal bond as the primary means by which women are imagined as actuating potential and seeking power.
