Anotácia knihy

Culture, Class and Gender in the Victorian Novel: Gentlemen, Gents and Working Women examines the interrelation of social class and its literary representation in Victorian Britain, focusing on the emergence of the lower middle class as a literary, as well as a social and cultural phenomenon. It places the evolution of the lower middle class and its relation to other classes within the social structure of nineteenth-century England and within the historical context of changing perceptions of the idea of the gentleman and the changing role of women, especially during the second half of the century. Arlene Young traces popular attitudes towards various representative class and cultural types through the examination of novels, comic sketches and contemporary nineteenth-century social commentaries. She analyzes literary portraits of figures like the much-despised Gent, the culturally and socially suspect Bachelor Girl and New Woman, and the ever-problematic figure of the gentleman. Her analysis features canonical texts like Dickens's Little Dorrit and Gissing's The Odd Women as well as less-known works by Dinah Mulock Craik, Margaret Oliphant, Amy Levy, Grant Allen, H. G. Wells, Arnold Bennett and May Sinclair.
