Sisters and the English Household: Domesticity and Women's Autonomy in Nineteenth-Century English Literature - Anthem Nineteenth-Century Series
Anne D. Wallace
'Sisters and the English Household' revalues unmarried adult sisters in nineteenth-century English literature as positive figures of legal and economic autonomy representing productive labour in the domestic space. As a crucial site of contested values, the adult unmarried sister carries the discursive weight of sustained public debates about ideals of domesticity in nineteenth-century England.
