AURORA FLOYD Mary E Braddon -- Education & Stereotypical Victorian
The novel AURORA FLOYD explores the idea that the education given to middle class girls in the Victorian era produces a stereotypical Victorian woman. The British public school system is also indicated as producing a typical standardised Victorian man. Both concepts are illustrated and also exploded by the course of the plot and interactions of the characters. This is a very clever aspect of this novel and enjoyable to examine. This video is part of the C19th In Conversation series.
