- 요약Examining the lives and work of three popular nineteenth-century authors, this project accounts for the ways individuals wrote about interactions in domestic space in ways that expose inconsistencies in dominant ideas about domestic space and that challenge or endorse how this framework undergirded patriarchal power relations. Though nineteenth-century authors write as if there was universal adherence to an accepted system of domestic etiquette, historical accounts show that there were discrepancies in how people behaved in their houses that were sometimes deliberate and sometimes not. Literature written during this time similarly reflects disparate ideas about domestic space that sometimes correspond with and sometimes challenge ideology laid out in domestic manuals. Elizabeth Barrett Browning's life as an invalid meant that she was forced to combine various activities in a single room at some points during her life, which would not have been allowed had she been healthy. In poems like "The House of Clouds," "The Lost Bower," "Hector in the Garden," and "The Deserted Garden," EBB expands past perceived limits on spaces in which women find themselves confined, and Aurora Leigh (1856) shows Aurora finding ways to reach beyond limits society wishes to place on her by inhabiting rooms in ways that challenge the patriarchy.Pushing back against women's arguments against firm boundaries for female spaces, Anthony Trollope legitimizes domestic ideology by showing the negative consequences ofivwomen leaving feminine spaces in his Barchester Towers series focusing on The Warden (1855), Barchester Towers (1857), and The Last Chronicle of Barset (1867). Similarly his Autobiography (1883) recasts writing as masculine work, and reveals anxieties about female authors. Margaret Oliphant's Autobiography (1899) rails against being limited to female spaces and their correlated duties. Her Chronicles of Carlingford series, particularly "The Rector," Salem Chapel (1863), The Perpetual Curate (1864), Miss Marjoribanks (1866), and Phoebe Junior (1876), elucidates the artificial nature of domestic practices and shows how they create a hierarchal system that men use to remain in power in ways that do not benefit the community.
