Professional Domesticity in the Victorian Novel: Women, Work and Home (Cambridge Studies in Nineteenth-Century Literature and Culture) Book

Questioning the stereotypes associated with Victorian domesticity, Monica F. Cohen offers new readings of narratives by Austen, Charlotte Brontë, Dickens, Eliot, Eden, Gaskell, Oliphant and Reade.
