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.
