Angel in the House, The, a sequence of poems by C.
Patmore, in four parts, published 1854–61. The work is a celebration of married love. Felix courts and weds Honoria, a dean's daughter; in the last two parts Frederick, a rival for Honoria's hand, marries Jane and learns to love her before her early death. It was immensely popular with the Victorian public, though its mixture of high-flown sentiment and banal details about middle-class life made it the object of much mockery from more sophisticated authors like
Swinburne and
Gosse. V.
Woolf, in a lecture on ‘Professions for Women’ (1931), spoke of the need for women writers to ‘kill the Angel in the House’.
