Abstract

This chapter by catherine hall examines one particular factor she identifies as being crucial to the creation of the victorian middle-class ideal of womanhood. Since the "angel in the house" was already established as a precept by the 1830s and '40s, the author seeks farther back in time for the origins of this cultural ideal. In doing so, her exploration focuses on evangelical thought regarding the role of women as it was espoused during the transformative years spanning approximately 1780 to 1820.

hall's thesis is that the Evangelical ideology of domesticity was not merely an ideal constructed for others, but "an attempt to reconstruct family life and the relations between the sexes on the basis of 'real' Christianity."
