Rezumat

The present article focuses on one of the two father-daughter relationships depicted in Julia Kavanagh’s Rachel Gray. It describes the paternal figure of Richard Jones and Mary Jones’s image as a daughter and compares them with the socio-historical prototypes of mid-Victorian fathers and daughters of the respectable working classes to which they correspond, aiming at proving that the former are not an accurate replication of the latter. The paper indicates that the novel deals with Richard’s excessive paternal love and Mary’s lack of filial appreciation to add emphasis on the paternal indifference and filial devotion characterising the other father-daughter relationship, and not to faithfully reproduce the actual family experiences of most Victorians belonging to the respectable working classes of the late 1840s.
