But the Victorians attached unprecedented importance to domesticity, romanticizing the family in every medium from novels to government reports, to the point where actual families felt anxious and the public developed a fierce appetite for scandal. Here Karen Chase and Michael Levenson explore how intimacy became a spectacle and how this paradox energized Victorian culture between 1835 and 1865. They tell a story of a society continually perfecting the forms of private pleasure and yet forever finding its secrets exposed to view. The friction between the two conditions sparks insightful discussions of authority and sentiment, empire and middle-class politics. The book recovers neglected episodes of this mid-century drama: the adultery trial of Caroline Norton and the Prime Minister, Lord Melbourne; the Bedchamber Crisis of the young Queen Victoria; the Bloomer craze of the 1850's; and Robert Kerr's influential treatise, celebrating the ideal of the English Gentleman's House. The literary representation of household life--in Dickens, Tennyson, Ellis, and Oliphant, among others--is placed in relation to such public spectacles as the Deceased Wife's Sister Bill of 1848, the controversy over divorce in the years 1854-1857, and the triumphant return of Florence Nightingale from the Crimea. These colorful incidents create a telling new portrait of Victorian family life, one that demands a fundamental rethinking of the relation between public and private spheres.Literature in history (Princeton, N.J.)English literature19th centuryHistory and criticismHome in literatureLiterature and historyGreat BritainHistory19th centuryPublic opinionGreat BritainHistory19th centuryPrivacyGreat BritainHistory19th centuryFamiliesGreat BritainHistory19th centuryFamilies in literatureGreat BritainHistoryVictoria, 1837-1901Electronic books.English literatureHistory and criticism.Home in literature.Literature and historyHistoryPublic opinionHistoryPrivacyHistoryFamiliesHistoryFamilies in literature.941.081Chase Karen1952-1035618Levenson Michael H(Michael Harry),1951-223820MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910456871203321The spectacle of intimacy2486287UNINA01423nam 2200397 450 991029575460332120221005192824.0607-628-815-9607-462-319-8(CKB)4100000007178946(NjHacI)994100000007178946(EXLCZ)99410000000717894620221005d2011 uy 0spaur|||||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierDe la lengua por sólo la extrañezavolumen 2 estudios de lexicología, norma lingüística, historia y literatura en homenaje a Luis Fernando Lara /Luis Fernando Lara ; edited by María Eugenia Vázquez Laslop [and two others]México :El Colegio de Mexico,2011.1 online resource (508 pages)Includes bibliographical references.Lengua por sólo la extrañeza Lengua por sólo la extrañezaDe la lengua por sólo la extrañezaSpanish languageLexicographySpanish languageLexicography.463Lara Luis Fernando1022180Vázquez Laslop María EugeniaNjHacINjHaclBOOK9910295754603321De la lengua por sólo la extrañeza2947861UNINA
