This work examines class and its representation in Victorian
literature, focusing on the emergence of the lower middle class and
middle class responses to it. The author analyzes portraits of
white collar workers, both men and women, who laboured under
disparaging misperceptions of their values, abilities, and cultural
significance, and shows how these misperceptions were both
formulated and resisted. The analysis includes canonical texts like
Dickens's "Little Dorrit" and Gissing's "The Odd Women" as well as
less well known works by Dinah Mulock Craik, Margaret Oliphant, Amy
Levy, Grant Allen, H.G. Wells, Arnold Bennett, and May Sinclair.
