Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reminiscences of Henry Coward When in my 'teens, I was greatly excited and stimu lated in spirit by reading Smiles' self-help and kindred works, as were my companions also. To me, and to them, the struggles and successful achievements of men who had everything against them acted as a tonic, an inspiration, and an incentive to effort, a spur to try and do something to get from under the constant cloud of poverty which seemed always to hang above us. Young men nowadays scarcely realize the hard times that apprentices had in those days (1860 There were frequent periods of bad trade even in ordinary times, but during the American. Civil War the spectre of want and starvation was very real. To take one instance, the 3 stint (maximum allowance in wages) for my master'and myself at Messrs. Joseph Rodgers 8c Sons, the world-famed cutlers, was ten shillings weekly. We had to eke out a living by doing odd jobsoforr'f little mesters, but these were very few: r It was thelconstant aim of most workmen to get an assured income, however small, 'and great was the rejoicing when two of our com panions landed in clover, one by becoming a post man and the other a lamplighter at fifteen shillings a week.

Download or read book Romantic Outlaws written by Charlotte Gordon and published by Random House Trade Paperbacks. This book was released on 2016-02-02 with total page 674 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD WINNER • NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE SEATTLE TIMES This groundbreaking dual biography brings to life a pioneering English feminist and the daughter she never knew. Mary Wollstonecraft and Mary Shelley have each been the subject of numerous biographies, yet no one has ever examined their lives in one book—until now. In Romantic Outlaws, Charlotte Gordon reunites the trailblazing author who wrote A Vindication of the Rights of Woman and the Romantic visionary who gave the world Frankenstein—two courageous women who should have shared their lives, but instead shared a powerful literary and feminist legacy. In 1797, less than two weeks after giving birth to her second daughter, Mary Wollstonecraft died, and a remarkable life spent pushing against the boundaries of society’s expectations for women came to an end. But another was just beginning. Wollstonecraft’s daughter Mary was to follow a similarly audacious path. Both women had passionate relationships with several men, bore children out of wedlock, and chose to live in exile outside their native country. Each in her own time fought against the injustices women faced and wrote books that changed literary history. The private lives of both Marys were nothing less than the stuff of great Romantic drama, providing fabulous material for Charlotte Gordon, an accomplished historian and a gifted storyteller. Taking readers on a vivid journey across revolutionary France and Victorian England, she seamlessly interweaves the lives of her two protagonists in alternating chapters, creating a book that reads like a richly textured historical novel. Gordon also paints unforgettable portraits of the men in their lives, including the mercurial genius Percy Shelley, the unbridled libertine Lord Byron, and the brilliant radical William Godwin. “Brave, passionate, and visionary, they broke almost every rule there was to break,” Gordon writes of Wollstonecraft and Shelley. A truly revelatory biography, Romantic Outlaws reveals the defiant, creative lives of this daring mother-daughter pair who refused to be confined by the rigid conventions of their era. Praise for Romantic Outlaws “[An] impassioned dual biography . . . Gordon, alternating between the two chapter by chapter, binds their lives into a fascinating whole. She shows, in vivid detail, how mother influenced daughter, and how the daughter’s struggles mirrored the mother’s.”—The Boston Globe
