Abstract
This paper examines the ways in which the girlhood in the Victorian age was constructed by such (un)normative spaces as home, castle/school, grass plains, fair, and forest in George MacDonald’s fantasy novel The Day Boy and the Night Girl and Lucy Lane Clifford’s grotesque story “The New Mother,” both of which were published in 1882. In the Victorian age when ‘the cult of domesticity’ flourished, the innocent, submissive, asexual girl was regarded as the ideal embodiment of ‘the angel in the house.’ The Day Boy and the Night Girl seems to challenge the binary gender stereotypes; however, it returns to the very gender stereotypes as it concludes with the happily-ever-after marriage between the Day Boy (Photogen) and the Night Girl (Nycteris). Through the three contrasts between the cosy and spotless home and the carnivalesque fair, the good daughters and the subversive village girl, and the angelic mother and the monster-like new mother with glass eyes and a wooden tail, “The New Mother” exposes the fictitiousness and the uncanny of the ideal girlhood and the home. These two texts show that girlhood was a new social category constructed on the basis of the patriarchal gender ideologies of the Victorian age.
