This dissertation looks to nineteenth-century theories of mesmerism and hypnosis and how their influence helped to give shape to the narrative techniques deployed in Victorian fiction. Rather than focusing on non-realist texts where these phenomena are an explicit part of fictional narratives, this work explores how realist authors, many of whom were familiar with mesmerism and/or hypnotism and believed in their validity, deploy the logic of these practices in their depictions of psychological interiority, shifts in perspective, explorations of characters' bodies, and epistolary technique. Examining the works of William Makepeace Thackeray, George Eliot, George Moore, and Bram Stoker, I argue that numerous features of realist fiction modern readers accept as representative of day-to-day life have their origins in now defunct pseudoscientific theories that posit mechanisms for human beings having access to one another's thoughts, feelings, and individual subjectivity, and how a trace of this vitalist logic persists in later texts.
