Fallenness in Victorian Women's Writing
by Deborah Anna Logan
The Child, the State, and the Victorian Novel
by Laura C. Berry
The Child, the State, and the Victorian Novel traces the story of victimized childhood to its origins in nineteenth-century Britain. Almost as soon as "childhood" became a distinct category, Laura C. Berry contends, stories of children in danger were circulated as part of larger debates about child welfare and the role of the family in society. Berry examines the nineteenth-century fascination with victimized children to show how novels and reform writings reorganize ideas of self and society as narratives of childhood distress. Focusing on classic childhood stories such as Oliver Twist and novels that are not conventionally associated with particular social problems, such as Dickens's Dombey and Son, the Bronte sisters' Wuthering Heights and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, and George Eliot's Adam Bede, Berry shows the ways in which fiction that purports to deal with private life, particularly the domain of the family, nevertheless intervenes in public and social debates. At the same time she examines medical, legal, charitable, and social-relief writings to show how these documents provide crucial sources in the development of social welfare and modern representations of the family.
The Language of Gender and Class
by Patricia Ingham
The Language of Gender and Class challenges widely-held assumptions about the study of the Victorian novel. The author analyzes language as the framework for the concepts of gender and the formations of social class, specifically, how stereotypes of gender and class encode cultural myths that reinforce the status quo. Re-examining six major Victorian novels: Shirley by Charlotte Bronte; North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell; Felix Holt by George Eliot; Hard Times by Charles Dickens; The Unclassed by George Gissing; and Jude the Obscure by Thomas Hardy, Patricia Ingham demonstrates that none of the writers, male or female, easily accept stereotypes of gender and class. The classic figures of Angel and Whore are reassessed and modified. And the result, argues Ingham, is that new representations of femininity can begin to emerge.
