The cultural and semiotic approach to the concept of the Victorian house helps analyse aspects such as: the house as a cultural product of a certain society in a certain age; the interactions and relationships between inhabitants and guests; the Victorian house as both a private and public space; interactions and relationships among inhabitants and/or between inhabitants and outsiders as indicators of social, domestic and moral hierarchies. Semiotics, the main approach applied in this study, supports in crossing the boundaries of academic disciplines. Analysing the house as a semiotic object supports the identification of cultural spaces and cultural paradigms, social and domestic roles and positions as part of the house’s process of signification and the way in which the resulted meaning is communicated to readers by means of Victorian novels.
