Gypsies in Nineteenth-Century England

Gypsy, the British disappeared in the 19th century, said that gypsies played an important role in the 19th century, but they were not automatically accepted as social equality. In fact, since the moment they entered the European land, Gyspies was misunderstood and even worried. This emotion appears in prejudice, leading to discriminatory behavior. But at the same time, the Victorian society has perceived itself being fascinated by these strange gypsies. Jane Eyre's gypsy theme reflects the ambiguous attitude of the Victorian society against gypsies.

Deborah Nord argues that her articles assert that literature in the 19th century claims images of gypsy as a microcosm of British Victorian figures. She believes that gypsy is a completely hostile person and is against the British middle class society. Gypsy is a perfect choice, as their "kingdoms" are still at the edge of society and can not be regarded as 'far away full foreigners' of colonial ethnic groups, but visible independent in dark colors Skin, hair, eyes, and unlawful personality. Nord thinks that it is a disgraceful thing for women writers of the 19th century to use this available medium to explore and express beyond the scope of literature and aspects that do not belong to the type of image of women . Gypsy completely encapsulates this "others"

The Victorian period was an unprecedented growth period for Britain. One reason for this increase is that in the 19th century there were no catastrophic epidemics or famine in the UK and Scotland. On the other hand, the population of Ireland declined sharply, mainly due to Irish potato famine (1845-1849), which decreased from 8.2 million in 1841 to 4.5 million in 1901. In the mid-nineteenth century, I saw a wonderful exhibition in 1851. The first world exposition showed the greatest innovation of this century. In the center of the crystal palace is a huge modular glass and iron structure - this is the first of its kind. It was criticized by John Ruskin as a model of machine inhumanization in design, but later it was proposed as a prototype of modern architecture.
