Description

Deborah Wynne's scholarly examination explores how transformations in married women's property legislation reshaped literary portrayals of women between 1850 and 1900. Unlike conventional studies emphasising Victorian consumerism and commodity culture, this work argues that modern consumption paradigms cannot be universally applied to the nineteenth century. The book reveals how women's restricted property rights before the 1882 Married Women's Property Act influenced cultural representations of femininity and material ownership in fiction. Through careful textual analysis, Wynne demonstrates the intricate relationship between legal reform and narrative representation, offering readers a fresh perspective on how Victorian novelists engaged with women's economic agency and social positioning during this transformative era.
