The Private Rod is both nuanced in its careful reading of texts and comprehensive in its larger cultural inquiry into the debate surrounding marital violence in sensation and realistic fiction as well as in legal discourse. Readers interested in both gender and generic considerations of the Victorian novel will find Tromp's study engaging. In addition to making a significant contribution regarding the narrative of domestic violence in the novel, her discussion of Margaret Oliphant's novel, Salem Chapel, and its generic tensions between realism and sensationalism manifesting in scenes of domestic abuse stands out as exceptional.. One of the pleasures of reading The Private Rod is in noting how Tromp resituates a writer too often regarded as peripheral to a central place in this important debate regarding Victorian culture.
