Review # 1 was written on 2012-10-18 00:00:00 Gary Lester Points for research: "The Victorian home became a physical theater for staging one's social status, and architecture in the nineteenth century changed in response. Elaborate sign systems such as etiquette, dress, and architecture reveal how Victorians bifurcated male and female;" (Langland 41). "the feminine icon of the Angel in the House is also a middle class ideal built explicitly on a class system of difference where political and economic differences were rewritten as differences of nature" (Langland 41) "The segregation of the kitchen from the rest of the household underscores gender and class distinctions evident everywhere in the architecture" (Langland 43) "M.L. Thompson makes a similar observation that the layout of houses 'encouraged their occupants to conform to a stereotype of respectability'" (qtd. in Langland 43). "Spaces were encoded as masculine or feminine" (Langland 43) - see drawing room vs dining room; also: smoking & billiard rooms and bachelor's quarters vs drawing rooms, sitting rooms, boudoirs - separation of quarters by both gender and class; increased value in privacy; servant's quarters mirror owner's quarters in terms of layout and separation "Back staircases, hidden doorways, and secluded passageways enabled servants to escape detection as they performed their duties" (Langland 43-440. "The bourgeois wife decided upon the household help required, drew up job descriptions, advertised, interviewed, hired, supervised, paid, and fired" (Langland 46). - interaction with servant classes and regulation of behavior - philanthropy as angelic mission; acts of charity, looking after tenants etc. - instruction of children; hiring instructors for education (comparison between children and servants) Langland, Elizabeth.
