Comedy, irony, and women’s domestic lives
Erica Brown’s study places the novels of Elizabeth von Arnim and Elizabeth Taylor in conversation, focusing on their depictions of middle-class women’s domestic lives. It examines how comedy and irony operate in work once dismissed as “middlebrow,” and presents Brown’s argument that these devices offer commentary on life’s cruelties and disappointments. The book brings questions of literary classification together with an account of how humor can carry social criticism.
