Description

The Angel in the House, a seminal poem by Coventry Patmore, is a quintessential exploration of Victorian ideals surrounding womanhood and domesticity. The poem is a tribute to the idealized woman, often referred to in the text as the 'angel,' who embodies selflessness, purity, and devotion. Patmore's work centers on the concept that a woman's primary role is to be a loving and nurturing presence within the home, providing emotional support for her husband and children.Through rich imagery and lyrical language, Patmore paints a portrait of this ideal woman, celebrating her virtues while simultaneously critiquing the societal limitations imposed on women. The poem reflects the era’s gender norms, emphasizing the notion that a woman’s fulfillment comes from her domestic duties. Though it has faced criticism for its restrictive view of femininity, The Angel in the House remains a pivotal text in discussions of gender roles and the evolution of women's rights, offering insight into the complexities of Victorian society.
