Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Woman's Trials, Vol. 2 Henrietta's eyes kept wandering to the clock on the mantel-piece; a quarter past nine, and not come yet. "Dear Henrietta " exclaimed Miss Lavinia, clutching her tightly by the wrist. "Oh, you hurt me," said the young girl, testily. "What's the matter?" "He's come " whispered Miss Lavinia, in a thrill of excitement. "Who's that with him, I wonder?" Henrietta looked towards the door, and saw Monsieur Beranger in the act of presenting a gentleman to Madame St. Simon. The presented party bowed so low, that for a moment his head and shoulders were eclipsed by the portly figure of the hostess.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Trials, Vol. 2 of 2: A Tale Not that Matilda was a deserted wife, in the com. Mon acceptation of the term. Charles was not so passionately in love with her as he had been but he was still as strongly attached to her, as it was in his nature to be to any thing he had called his own for two years. But she discovered, when too late, that she had joined her fate with one, of a character, which, of all others (not disgraced by any flagrant vice) is that most calculated to give pain to those connected with it. An austere, or a violent, or a passionate temper, may be accessible, and very com mouly is, on the side of sensibility and virtue but nothing good is within the reach of an unthinking mind. The spirits that would always be gay, always be plunged in a vortex of dissipation, in a world where, on every side, objects for reflection solicit our attention, and seem to intreat our considera tion, present the most hopeless of materials for the reformist to work upon. I see that there is no hope of him said Ma tilda sorrowfully, one day, after they had just re. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Woman's Trials: Or, Tales and Sketches From the Life Around Us The title of this volume sufficiently indicates its purpose. The stories of which it is composed have been mainly written with the end of creating for woman, in the various life-trials through which she has to pass, sympathy and true consideration, as well in her own sex as in ours. We are all too much engrossed in what concerns ourselves - in our own peculiar wants, trials, and sufferings - to give that thought to others which true humanity should inspire. To the creator of fictitious histories is, therefore, left the task of reminding us of our duty, by presenting pictures from the world of life around us - moving pictures, in which we may not only see the effect of our actions upon others, but also the relations of others to society, and thus learn to sympathize with the tried and the tempted, the suffering and the oppressed, the grief-stricken and the mourner.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tales of Woman's Trials Mrs. Gresham had repeated, "Wanted - a governess," when an old gentleman, a Mr. By field, was announced. The trio of wives and mothers looked at each other, as if to say, "What a bore!" - and then Mrs. Hylier rose gracefully from her chaise longue, and, smiling sweetly, extended her hand, and welcomed Mr. Byfield with exceeding warmth of manner; while Mrs. Gresham and Mrs. Ryal declared aloud their delight at being so fortunate as to meet a neighbour they had so rarely the pleasure to see. The party thus assembled were all inhabitants of the bustling yet courtly suburb of Kensington; and Mr. Byfield being a rich and influential, though a very eccentric, man, was sure of the deference which people of small means are too prone to exhibit towards those whose fortunes are ample. "Do not let me interrupt yon in the least, ladies," said the old man, quietly taking his seat near the window. "Mr. Hylier promised I should look over these pictures by daylight; and when you have talked your own talk, there will be time enough for mine." The ladies, one and all, declared their conviction that his "talk" must be more pleasant and instructive than theirs. lie smiled - shook his head - touched his hat (which he had laid at his feet), as if to say he would either go or have his own way; and so Mrs. Gresham recommenced reading - "Wanted - a governess. Any lady possessing a sound English education, a thorough knowledge of the theory and practice of instrumental and vocal music, and a perfect acquaintance with the French, Italian, and German languages; also with the rudiments of Latin: " "Latin!" interrupted Mrs. Ryal. "Latin! why, what do you want with Latin for a pack of girls?" "I thought," answered Mrs. Gresham, meekly, "that as there are but three girls, Teddy might do his lessons with them for a little while; and that would save the expense of a tutor." "Oh, very good - very good," replied Mrs. Ryal; "then add also, Greek; if the governess is any thing of' a classic, you'll get both for the same money."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Trials of Life, Vol. 2 of 2 To whom can I better dedicate my Recollections of Alicia, than to you, my dear Madam, who knew the fair original? time and sorrow had indeed, before you saw her, dimmed the lustre of her matchless beauty; but even then enough remained to excite your admiration, mixed, perhaps, with the charitable regret that the powers of her mind should be so much less striking than the brilliancy of her eye. You knew neither what her situation then was, nor what it had been - how strongly she could feel, and how nobly she could act. I rejoice in vindicating, to one of your candid temper, the memory of a friend, endeared to me no less by the real excellence of her disposition, than by her successive misfortunes. I have faithfully related what I knew of her story, and heard of her sentiments. My anxiety to avoid extraneous matter, or to lend to a mere effort of memory those embellishments which can belong properly only to a work of imagination, has often, I fear, made my narrative unconnected and desultory. To you, who know it to be fact, it may however still wear a semblance of interest; and in that hope I present it to you, trusting you will be disposed to read the latter part with the same indulgence with which you perused the former.

And the Saunders, say, Major, I replied, not, I confess, with my usual prudence, that the best way of all would be for you to lend them your carriage occasionally to take a drive in - better than keeping it in the huge coach-house as a nesting-place for sparrows. As to me, I like to be mistress of my own actions: and, perhaps, the day I wanted the carriage would be the very day I could not have it.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Clarissa, Vol. 2: A Novel And let me tell thee, Lovelace, that in this lady's situa tion, the trial is not a fair trial. Considering the depth of thy plots and contrivances considering the opportuni ties which I see thou must have with her, in spite of her own heart all her relations' follies acting in concert, though unknown to themselves, with thy wicked scheming head considering how destitute of protection she is: considering the house she is to be in, where she will be surrounded with thy implements; specious, well-bred, and genteel creatures, not easily to be detected when they are disposed to preserve appearances, especially by a young, unexperienced lady wholly unacquainted with the town considering all these things, I say, what glory, what cause of triumph, wilt thou have, if she should be overcome 2 Thou, too, a man born for intrigue, full of invention, ih trepid, remorseless, able patiently to watch for thy oppor tunity not hurried, as most men, by gusts of violent passion, which often nip a project in the bud, and make the snail that was just putting out its horns to meet the inviter, withdraw into its shell - a man who has no regard to his word or oath to the sex; the lady scrupulously strict to her word, incapable of art or design apt therefore to believe well of others - it would be a miracle if she stood such an attempter, such attempts, and such snares, as I see will be laid for her. And after all, I see not when men are so frail without importunity, that so much should be expected from women, daughters of the same fathers and mothers, and made up of the same brittle compounds (education all the difference), nor where the triumph is in subduing them.

Download or read book Women Medievalists and the Academy Volume 2 written by Jane Chance and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2018-05-22 with total page 527 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long overlooked in standard reference works, pioneering women medievalists finally receive their due in Women Medievalists and the Academy. This comprehensive edited volume brings to life a diverse collection of inspiring figures through memoirs, biographical essays, and interviews. Covering many different nationalities and academic disciplines—including literature, philology, history, archaeology, art history, theology or religious studies, and philosophy—each essay delves into one woman’s life, intellectual contributions, and efforts to succeed in a male-dominated field. Together, these extraordinary personal histories constitute a new standard reference that speaks to a growing interest in women’s roles in the development of scholarship and the academy. The collection begins in the eighteenth century with Elizabeth Elstob and continues to the present, and includes—among more than seventy profiles—such important figures as Anna Jameson, Lina Eckenstein, Georgiana Goddard King, Eileen Power, Dorothy L. Sayers, Dorothy Whitelock, Susan Mosher Stuard, Marcia Colish, and Caroline Walker Bynum, among others.

He might, however, have known me better than to suppose that I should accept a husband to whom I was awarded with the property, like an odd lot at a sale. The position would be as unpleasant for you also, Gilbert, as for me. No man likes to have a Wife thrust down his throat in so summary a manner. You would like, I suppose, to have had the excitement of proposing yourself, instead of having it done for you, with due legal formality, through a will.
