Our
survey unfolds the complexity of the marginalization experience of the Victorian
Others, their individual or collective mentality and their agency. Drawing on
Otherness from six Victorian novels, our book takes an interpretative approach
to spaces which reveals how the positionality of women
or orphans or labourers in social hierarchies of
gender, race and legal status influences and even affects their legitimacy or
access to a superior position. Their agency has not always overcome their
marginalization embedded within the structure of society, but at least
temporarily and gradually it has improved the women’s living conditions by
being rewarded with a beautiful family or by earning a living thus eluding the
dependency on a man. By contextualizing the six novels into the Victorian Age,
our survey will hopefully contribute to the understanding of women and of their
attempts at emancipation by demonstrating how their positionality impacts their
agency and their personality.
Keywords: marginalization, the Other, private vs.
public, nature vs. culture, mastery vs servitute.
