Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Women Novelists In the beginning they copied men, and saw through men's eyes, because - here and elsewhere they assumed that men's dicta and practice in life and art were their only possible guides and examples. Women to-day take up every form of fiction attempted by men, because they assume that their powers are as great, their right to express themselves equally varied.

Download or read book Women Writers of the Nineteenth Century Classic Reprint written by Marjory A. Bald and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-23 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Women-Writers of the Nineteenth Century This collection of studies does not aim at giving an ex haustive account of the contribution made by women to Nineteenth Century literature. Neither does it profess to be in any sense a feminist treatise. The writers selected were in all cases remarkable women; but they were something more -remarkable human beings. I have endeavoured throughout to concentrate, not merely on questions of sex, but on the complete humanity of each woman. So far as possible all pre conceived theories of the literary woman have been deliberately excluded. There is no initial attempt to determine what the woman of letters should be like. After looking carefully at these particular women, we may see What she has sometimes been like; and we may also discern certain characteristics common to different women of literary instinct. That is all the theory which this book professes to give. For its aim has not been the evolution of a principle. It has attempted something more elusive, and to many minds far more satis fying - to look at individual writers, as it were face to face, with a quickened sense of kinship and reverence.

Download or read book The Women Who Make Our Novels Classic Reprint written by Grant M. Overton and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-19 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Women Who Make Our Novels This book, the rather unpremeditated production of several months' work, is by a man who is not a novelist and who is therefore entirely unfitted to write about women who are novelists. Several excuses may be urged; the author is, by general agreement, young. He has to do with many novels, being, indeed, a sort of new and strange creature, a literary reporter self-styled, a person connected with a newspaper and charged with the task of describing new books for the readers thereof. As he could make no critical pretensions he had to fall back upon a process peculiar to newspaper work, the attempt at a simple putting before the public of facts, of things lately said and done - in short, of news. He had to regard a new book as a piece of news to be communicated as honestly and as entertainingly as any other occurrence. And so, here. He has tried to be a good reporter of the personalities, performances and methods of work of some of the best known American women novelists. An effort has been made to include in this book all the living American women novelists whose writing, by the customary standards, is artistically fine. An equal effort has been made to include all the living American women novelists whose writing has attained a wide popularity.

Included in this volume are groundbreaking works such as Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein; Agatha Christie’s The Mysterious Affair at Styles, the first Hercule Poirot novel; Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s short story “The Yellow Wallpaper” and her follow-up essay; and poetry from the likes of Christina Rossetti, Amy Lowell, and Sara Teasdale. The words of these authors offer a multitude of perspectives on different issues that affect not only women but the wider world as well.

Had the age been deficient in the art of fiction, or had it followed any long level of mediocrity in that art, we could have comprehended this more easily. But Charlotte Bronte appeared in the full flush of a period more richly endowed than any other we know of in that special branch of literature, so richly endowed, indeed, that the novel had taken quite fictitious importance, and the names of Dickens and Thackeray ranked almost higher than those of any living writers except perhaps Tennyson, then young and on his promotion too.

Download or read book Our Early Female Novelists and Other Essays Classic Reprint written by Alexander Malcolm Williams and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-10 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Early Female Novelists, and Other Essays In the history of English story-telling an altogether notable place is occupied by Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. They are remarkable not only as masterpieces of narrative, but as containing both description of incidents and delineation of manners; not only as triumphs of literary expression, but as giving artistic form both to the romance of chivalry and to the tale of common life. Wholly wonderful it is that at so early a period such directness of movement and perfection of style, such vividness of portraiture and realism of incident, are found in verse, while centuries pass before similar excellences are found in prose. It is, indeed, peculiarly interesting to contrast Chaucer's practice with the subsequent course of English fiction.
