Giving readers a fascinating look deep into Victorian England, this
critical edition of Walter Besant's Children of Gibeon is ideally
suited to courses in Victorian literature and history. The book
includes several features to aid students in understanding the
novel as both a literary work and an insightful exploration of
important issues in Victorian society, including the role of women,
poverty, inequality, and urban development. These features include:
A critical introduction Annotations explaining Victorian
terminology and events Contemporary reviews of the novel
Contextualizing historical documents Appendices covering literary
and social contexts, working-class domestic interiors, and
middle-class domesticity By immersing themselves in Besant's tale
of Lady Mildred Eldridge and her two daughters, one of whom is
actually adopted from her former servant, students will gain
fascinating insights into Victorian life. Following the tale of
Violet and Valentine, who bear a striking resemblance to one
another, students participate in a literary puzzle in which the
truth of their origins reveals itself to the reader even as the
characters remain in the dark. The story of the two girls is also a
story of Victorian London-a city torn by geographic and economic
divides. The unique literary, social, and historical perspectives
provided by this annotated edition also make the book suitable for
classes in nineteenth-century history, material culture, and gender
studies.
