Outline of Final Research Achievements

The ideal woman in the Victorian era was expected to be angelic, innocent and chaste, as clearly indicated in the popular term “The Angel in the House.” The current research examined women writers in the early nineteenth century from the viewpoint of the reception of the classics to illustrate that their works had already shown a tendency to desexualize women. The way women poets such as Felicia Hemans and Letitia Elizabeth Landon, in particular, popularized and commercialized Ovidian Sappho corresponded to the way a discourse on female desexualization was spreading into British society and culture at that time. A close examination of the correlation between women poets’ treatment of Ovidian Sappho and the prevailing discourse of female desexualization revealed the actual condition of the commercialization of female sexuality in the early nineteenth century.
