Book excerpt: Excerpt from Working Life of Women in the Seventeenth Century The investigation, whose conclusions are partly described in the following treatise, was undertaken with a view to discovering the actual circumstances of women's lives in the Seventeenth Century. It is perhaps impossible to divest historical enquiry from all personal bias, but in this case the bias has simply consisted in a conviction that the conditions under which the obscure mass of Women live and fulfil their duties as human beings, have a vital influence upon the destinies of the human race, and that a little knowledge of what these conditions have actually been in the past will be of more value to the sociologist than many volumes of carefully elaborated theory based on abstract ideas. The theories with which I began this work of investigation as to the position occupied by women in a former social organisation have been abandoned, and have been replaced by others, which though still only held tentatively have at least the merit of resting solely on ascertained fact. If these theories should in turn have to be dis carded when a deeper understanding of history becomes possible, yet the picture of human life presented in the following pages will not entirely lose its value.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Working life of Women in the Seventeenth Century, originally published in 1919, was the first comprehensive analysis of the daily lives of ordinary women in early modern England. It remains the most wide ranging introduction to the subject. Clark uses a variety of documentary sources to illuminate the experience of women in the past. Gentlewomen left memoirs, letters, and household accounts detailing administration of their family estates; craftsmen's wives and widows figure in the apprenticeship and licensing records of guilds and towns; the wives of yeomen, husbandmen and labourers are glimpsed in court evidence, petitions and the registers of parish poor relief. Alice Clark's evidence dates from the later sixteenth to the early eighteenth century, and her analysis addresses a broad transition, from a medieval subsistence economy to the industrial capitalism of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Clark's conclusions about the effects of industrial capitalism on women's working conditions and contribution to the economy were controversial in her own time and remain so today. Her vivid portrayal of the everyday lives of working women - and all women who worked - in seventeenth-century England remains unsurpassed. This book was first published in 1919.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The investigation, whose conclusions are partly described in the following treateise, was undertaken with a view to discovering the actual circumstances of women's lives in the Seventeenth Century. ... The Seventeenth Century itself forms a sort of watershed between two very widely differing eras in the history of Englishwomen -- Elizabethan and the Eighteenth Century. Thus characteristics of both can be studied in the women who move through its varied scenes, either in the pages of dramatists or as revealed by domestic papers or in more public records. Only one aspect of their lives has been described in the present volume, namely their place in the economic organisation of society. ... The productive activity which is here described was not the work of women who were separated from the conmpanionship of married life and the joys and responsibilites of motherhood. These aspects of their life have not been forgotten, and will, I hope, be dealt with in a later volume, along with the whole question of girls' education."--Publisher's description.

This book was released on 2017-05-21 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Education of Women in the French Literature of the Seventeenth Century One of the most marked influences upon the movement towards woman's education in France may be found in the great body of the women known as the Precieuses. To go back to history*, we find that it was not until the reign Of Francis I that women took their real place in court and commenced to entertain each other and to receive the visits of gentlemen. Henry Iv's entry into court life brought with it a number of rough soldiers fresh from civil wars, accustomed to careless manners and coarse senti ments. Then it was that Mme. De Rambouillet, an italian-french woman of high ideals, unable any longer to bear the rude sensuality of the court, remodeled her home, doing away with all secret tete a-tgts corners, and began to receive her friends in her noted Blue room or salon. The clever and cultivated society which grew up around her salon and others like it became known as that of the precieux. Their avowed purpose was to free the French lan guage of its coarseness, to purify French customs and social life, and to aid in the development of literature. Why is it that this influence had to come from a foreigner and from a lady of the court Was the pure life of the convent, where so many girls received their education, unable to elevate and ennoble French life? No, the convents did not do this, for the simple reason that they did not. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Home-Life of English Ladies in the XVII Century But, whilst so little of the inner life can shine through the veil imposed by modesty and self-renun ciation, now and then it happens that love of kindred, gratitude of friends, or even the evil fashion of the day, prodigal of panegyric, has preserved to us some few memorials of those who afl'orded a bright example to the age in which they lived. In such records the seventeenth century especially abounded; and from them the following selection has been made. Want of novelty in the subject, and absence of skill in its treatment, will not, it is hoped, obscure the names of those whose greatest work was carried on in their own hearts, and whose fame rose highest in their own homes.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Feminist Writers of the Seventeenth Century N o comprehensive View of the history of this move ment is therefore possible if due consideration is not given to the feminist writers of the seventeenth cen tury in France. Many of these pioneers of new ideas appealed to a very restricted circle of readers in their own lifetime, and are quite unknown to - day. Their literary merit was not great; their works have long been out of print, and their names are forgotten. They are brought into View once more in these pages because their ideas, often quaintly enough expressed, are interesting, not only in themselves, but also on account of their bearing upon the origin of a move ment which is occupying the attention of all thinking people at the present day.

Download or read book An Archaeology of Manners written by Lorinda B.R. Goodwin and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1999-06-30 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A glance at the title of this book might well beg the question “What in heaven’s name does archaeology have to do with manners? We cannot dig up manners or mannerly behavior—or can we?” One might also ask “Why is mannerly behavior important?” and “What can archaeology contribute to our understanding of the role of manners in the devel- ment of social relations and cultural identity in early America?” English colonists in America and elsewhere sought to replicate English notions of gentility and social structure, but of necessity div- ged from the English model. The first generation of elites in colonial America did not spring from the landed gentry of old England. Rather, they were self-made, newly rich, and newly possessed of land and other trappings of England’s genteel classes. The result was a new model of gentry culture that overcame the contradiction between a value system in which gentility was conferred by birth, and the new values of bo- geois materialism and commercialism among the emerging colonial elites. Manners played a critical role in the struggle for the cultural legitimacy of gentility; mannerly behavior—along with exhibition of refined taste in architecture, fashionable clothing, elegant furnishings, and literature—provided the means through which the new-sprung colonial elites defined themselves and validated their claims on power and prestige to accompany their newfound wealth.
