The Language of Gender and Class challenges widely-held assumptions
about the study of the Victorian novel. Lucid, multilayered and
cogently argued, this volume will provoke debate and encourage
students and scholars to rethink their views on ninteenth-century
literature.
Examining six novels, 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 the treatment
of gender by the late nineteenth century is released from its task
of containing neutralising class conflict. New accounts of feminity
can begin to emerge. The novels which Ingham studies are:
* Shirley by Charlotter Bronte
* North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell
* Felix Holt by George Eliot
* Hard Times by Charles Dickens
* The Unclassed by George Gissing
* Jude the Obscure by Thomas Hardy
