Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a humorous collection of curtain lectures delivered by Mrs. Caudle to her long-suffering husband, Job. First published in Punch magazine in the 1840s, these monologues offer a sharp and witty insight into the domestic life of the Victorian middle class. Mrs Caudle's relen…tless nagging and ceaseless complaints illuminate not only her own character but also her husband's role as a henpecked spouse. The author skewers gender roles, illuminating the power dynamics between husbands and wives in the Victorian era. Mrs Caudle's tirades range from trivial domestic matters to more serious issues such as her husband's absence from home and his lack of ambition. Through these lectures, the author provides a glimpse into the often-hidden world of mid-19th century marriage and family life.
