Sisters and the English Household - Domesticity Women s Autonomy in Nineteenth Century English

'Sisters and the English Household' revalues unmarried adult sisters in nineteenth-century English literature as positive figures of legal and economic autonomy representing productive labour in the domestic space. As a crucial site of contested values, the adult unmarried sister carries the discursive weight of sustained public debates about ideals of domesticity in nineteenth-century England.
