This book explores the intersections of gender with class and race
in the construction of national and imperial ideologies and their
fluid transformation from the Romantic to the Victorian period and
beyond, exposing how these cultural constructions are deeply
entangled with the family metaphor. For example, by examining the
re-signification of the "angel in the house" and the deviant woman
in the context of unstable or contingent masculinities and across
discourses of class and nation, the volume contributes to a more
nuanced understanding of British cultural constructions in the long
nineteenth century. The central idea is to unearth the historical
roots of the family metaphor in the construction of national and
imperial ideologies, and to uncover the interests served by its
specific discursive formation. The book explores both male and
female stereotypes, enabling a more perceptive comparison, enriched
with a nuanced reflection on the construction and social function
of class.
