Bonus 2: Victorian Class and Gender
Re: Dracula
The Role of Gender in Victorian Politics
Gender roles in Victorian times were very separate and regimented like that broadly speaking. For example for the upper classes and the middle classes if you were a woman and you worked there was a huge stigma attached to that. The domestic sphere is the realm of the woman women of wives and their mothers and men are for the world of work and they look after the family. A poem I always think of which is Coventry Patmoor's Angel and the House written about 1860, where he chastises his incredibly perfect wife who looks like an angel but then she chases him at work because he's had a bad day and so it becomes a popular trope in 19th century novels.
