Abstract

"The Victorian era was a time of dramatic change. During this period Britain ruled the largest empire on earth, witnessed the expansion of democracy, and developed universal education and mass print culture. Both its imperial might and the fact that it had industrialised and urbanised decades before any other nation allowed it to dominate world politics and culture in many ways for the better part of the nineteenth century. Understanding the Victorians paints a vivid portrait of the era, combines broad survey with close analysis, and introduces students to the critical debates taking place among historians today. It emphasises class, gender, and racial and imperial positioning as constitutive of human relations, including the social, economic, cultural, political, and legal. Starting with the Queen Caroline Affair in 1820 and coming right up to the start of World War I in 1914, Steinbach's thematic chapters take in, amongst other things, the economy, gender, religion, the history of science and ideas, material culture and sexuality. With a clear introduction outlining the key themes of the period, including the issue of periodization, and with chronologies and suggestions for further reading, this is the ideal companion for all students of the nineteenth century"-- "Understanding the Victorians paints a vivid portrait of the era, combining broad surveys with close analysis, and introduces students to the critical debates taking place among historians today. Focusing not just on England but on the whole of Great Britain and Ireland it emphasises class, gender, and racial and imperial positioning as constitutive of human relations. This book encompasses the whole of the Victorian period giving equal prominence to social and cultural topics alongside the politics and economics. Starting with the Queen Caroline Affair in 1820 and coming right up to the start of World War I in 1914, Susie L. Steinbach uses thematic chapters to discuss and evaluate, the economy, gender, religion, the history of science and ideas, material culture and sexuality. Steinbach also provides much-needed chapters on consumption, which links consumption with production, on law, which explains the legal culture and trials of criminal and scandalous cases and on space which draws to together the most current research in Victorian studies"--

Abstract

Hoe is de uitsluiting van vrouwen in het politieke veld van Frankrijk en Groot-Brittannië te verklaren? Dit boek probeert hierop een licht te werpen door de analyse van de dominante representaties van vrouwen in de twee maatschappijen, want men constateert dat de contradicties waarmee vrouwen geconfronteerd worden zijn zowel symbolisch als materieel. Door deze stereotiepen van vrouwelijkheid te bestuderen, kan men het niet samenvallen van de representaties van vrouwelijkheid en die van macht beter begrijpen. Een analyse van de ervaringen van Margaret Thatcher en Edith Cresson, twee vrouwen die de macht hadden als Eerste minister, tonen aan hoe het dominante discours politieke vrouwen categoriseert volgens de traditionele mythes van vrouwelijkheid. En men stelt vast dat zolang er geen positieve beelden van vrouwelijke macht getoond worden, vrouwen zullen worden uitgesloten van het politieke domein. Niet alleen wegens de onderdrukking van buitenaf, maar ook omwille van de angst om gemarginaliseerd te worden in een maatschappij waar de normen van vrouwelijkheid nog altijd precies zijn voorgeschreven.
