Description
This essay discusses how gender and class are intertwined in Victorian novels. It argues that because the representation of women has changed over time, discussions of gender and class must also change.
Recognizing that the representation of women can no longer be treated solely in terms of an investigation of gender and its production, Patricia Ingham re-examines the ways in which gender informs discussions of formations of social class. She analyzes variations in language as well as concepts of social class in the works of Dickens, Bronte, Gaskell, Eliot, Gissing, Hardy.
