Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Works of Douglas Jerrold, Vol. 3: Containing Mrs. Caudle's Curtain Lectures, Men of Character, and Punch's Complete Letter Writer
Mr. Caudle was blessed with an indomitable constitution. One fact will prove the truth of this. He lived thirty years with Mrs. Caudle, surviving her. Yes, it took thirty years for Mrs. Caudle to lecture and dilate upon the joys, griefs, duties, and vicissitudes comprised within that seemingly small circle the wedding-ring. We say, seemingly small; for the thing, as viewed by the vulgar, naked eye, is a tiny hoop made for the third feminine finger. Alack! Like the ring of Saturn, for good or evil it circles a whole world. Or to take a less gigantic figure, it compasses a vast region it may be Arabia Felix, and it may be Arabia Petrea.

Excerpt from The Works of Douglas Jerrold, Vol. 3: Containing Mrs. Caudle's Curtain Lectures, Men of Character, and Punch's Complete Letter Writer
Would you not think the knife was in his throat And yet they're only boring through his nose!
Hence, for all future time, the porker behaves himself with a sort of forced propriety - for in either nostril he carries a ring. It is, for the greatness of humanity, a saddening thought, that sometimes men must be treated no better than pigs.

Paperback. Condición: 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 relentless 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. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9780243520121_0
