5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting, informative scholarship, July 27, 2009
By A.M. (Colorado, United States) - See all my reviews
This book is an excellent scholarly resource on middle-class Victorian women and their representation in fiction. I purchased and read the book while writing my master's thesis on novelist Elizabeth Gaskell, and I found Langland's scholarship very informative. Langland draws on historical evidence, as well as literary texts by Dickens, Gaskell, Eliot, etc., and she offers a revision to the idea of Victorian women as passive "angels in the house."

I also appreciate the affordable paperback price, which is often not the case with academic books.
