During the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, the new ideal of middle-class masculinity came into the foreground along with the new ideal of domestic femininity. While domestic women were characterized by their chaste, modest, caring and self-effacing traits in the private sphere, the ideal men were characterized by their competence, talent, and self-discipline in the public sphere. Both of them share, however, inner qualities such as a well-regulated mind, industry and moral probity that displaced the presumably superficial values such as birth, social status and wealth. The newly emerging gender ideals of the middle class performed as symbolic capital in the struggle for cultural hegemony against the supposedly corrupt and idle aristocracy. Partaking in the prevalent discourse of the middle-class masculine ideal, the Irish novelist Maria Edgeworth's novel, Ennui with its changeling plot, defines a gentleman in terms of his individual merit and exertion rather than inherited property and title. The middle-class gentleman in Ireland delineated in Ennui, however, is a great deal more complicated than its counterpart in England due to Ireland's complex historical, political as well as colonial background. The empowerd class by the new masculine ideal is specifically Anglo-Irish Ascendancy to which the author herself belonged. Anglo-Irish Protestant Ascendancy came to Ireland from the 16th to 18th century, confiscating the land of the Irish native Catholic landlords. As colonizers, their right to governance seemed to be arbitrary and they lacked the necessary legitimacy. This essay aims to explore the ways in which Maria Edgeworth defines Anglo-Irish gentleman as an Ideal masculine man and thereby rationalizes and consolidates the “legitimacy” of the Anglo-Irish landlord class in her political apologue Ennui.
