Book excerpt: The history of love is the story of civilization--the account of the most universal, most irresistible, and most expedient activity of men and women. Love between the sexes has been marked by irrationality, dissimulation, anxiety, shame, frustration, disgust, and suffering. Yet the search for fulfillment through love is not only the basis of our earthly happiness but the summit of our biological destiny. The union of man and woman in ecstasy enables us to realize our ultimate purposes--our immortality and the survival of the species. Although the sex drive is related to our most primitive character, love and the literature created around the subject of love is truly the flower of our civilized achievements.

Book excerpt: "Students and teachers of Victorian women's careers will be grateful for [Mermin's] intelligent and equable guidance as they negotiate the paradoxes of Godiva's Ride." -- Modern Philology "This brief study should be enormously helpful to students seeking an introduction to feminist approaches to Victorian writers." -- Choice "Mermin's fine book is a work of synthesis that moves across many genres of women's writing... and touches on neglected writers of the period... as well as on the canonized few." -- American Historical Review "Godiva's Ride is a stimulating and enjoyable study of an exceptionally rich subject... " -- Victorian Periodicals Review "Accessible, original, and gracefully written, Godiva's Ride is likely to be as engrossing for the general reader as for the expert." -- Victorian Studies Describes the first great age of women's writing in England.

The many women entering the mainstream of English literature in this era included the Brontës, Elizabeth Gaskell, George Eliot, Margaret Oliphant, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Christina Rossetti, and Harriet Martineau.
