| Description: | In this lucid and cogently argued work, Patricia Ingham examines in detail the widely accepted critical cliché, ‘Examining the representation of gender always involves investigating the representation of class.’ Using historical material about ‘class’, she re-examines six major Victorian novels. Focusing upon language, she explores how stereotypes of gender and class encode cultural myths that reinforce the social status quo. She shows how, in the standard plot, class conflict is displaced onto romantic conflict between individual men and women which can be happily resolved. |
