Autobiography and Other Memorials of Mrs. Gilbert (Formerly Ann Taylor)
Author: Ann Taylor
Publisher: Forgotten Books
ISBN: 9780267158362
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 544
Book Description
Excerpt from Autobiography and Other Memorials of Mrs. Gilbert (Formerly Ann Taylor): With Portrait and Illustrations The Autobiography with which the work opens, passes to some extent over the same ground as the memoir of Jane Taylor by her brother; but as a personal narra tive of an almost unique family life, it is told very differently, and with large additions. It was addressed, it will be seen, to her Children, and some discursiveness has been corrected, but its Character of Domestic Re collections should be borne in mind. Yet the quaint personages, with their no less quaint surroundings, which appear in its pages, -the quiet Old English places, half town, half village, where they lived, reproduce the old Puritan life - homely, frugal, studious, which is perhaps only known to most Of us through the art of the novelist and it may be interesting to compare the real with the ideal picture. A later phase of Nonconformity, also, is displayed in the other portion of the work. The Autobiography ceases early, but it is believed that the loss will be compensated by the brightness and fresh ness of the extracts from correspondence, of which the rest is mainly composed. A few selections, poetical and other, taken from a mass of material, as illustrative Of character or circumstance, complete the portrait of a Clear and active mind, and Show the outlook of their author upon great questions, both Of this day and of every day.

Between Women
Author: Sharon Marcus
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 1400830850
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 369
Book Description
Women in Victorian England wore jewelry made from each other's hair and wrote poems celebrating decades of friendship. They pored over magazines that described the dangerous pleasures of corporal punishment. A few had sexual relationships with each other, exchanged rings and vows, willed each other property, and lived together in long-term partnerships described as marriages. But, as Sharon Marcus shows, these women were not seen as gender outlaws. Their desires were fanned by consumer culture, and their friendships and unions were accepted and even encouraged by family, society, and church. Far from being sexless angels defined only by male desires, Victorian women openly enjoyed looking at and even dominating other women. Their friendships helped realize the ideal of companionate love between men and women celebrated by novels, and their unions influenced politicians and social thinkers to reform marriage law. Through a close examination of literature, memoirs, letters, domestic magazines, and political debates, Marcus reveals how relationships between women were a crucial component of femininity. Deeply researched, powerfully argued, and filled with original readings of familiar and surprising sources, Between Women overturns everything we thought we knew about Victorian women and the history of marriage and family life. It offers a new paradigm for theorizing gender and sexuality--not just in the Victorian period, but in our own.
