The Heroine's Journey
Author: Maureen Murdock
Publisher: Shambhala Publications
ISBN: 1611808308
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 249
Book Description
The Heroine’s Journey describes contemporary woman’s search for wholeness in a society where she has been defined according to masculine values. Drawing on cultural myths and fairy tales, ancient symbols and goddesses, and the dreams of contemporary women, Murdock illustrates the need for—and the reality of—feminine values in Western culture. This special anniversary edition, with a new foreword by Christine Downing and preface by the author, illuminates that this need is just as relevant today as it was when the book was originally published thirty years ago.

The Heroines of Charlotte Brontë
Author: Dr. Priti Kanodia
Publisher: Ashok Yakkaldevi
ISBN: 171635790X
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 82
Book Description
When Charlotte began writing, the heroes and heroines of the novels prepared for young ladies and gentlemen were ideally perfect. The approach of the heroine was announced by the rustling of voluminous muslin, whose quality was described as the whitest and finest. When she came tripping in sandals, long ringlets were seen falling over a drooping head and a swan neck, and she was declared tender, soft, languishing, and innocent. The hero was the pink of kindness and graciousness; and when, after three volumes of courtship, he won a reluctant bride, he was told to be never cross or wayward with her. The best novels of this species - a lingering on of the Sir Charles Grandison tradition - were those written by Mrs. Anne Marsh Caldwell. Even Emily and Anne Brontë were careful to keep their heroines beautiful, in Wildfell Hall and Wuthering Heights though to no such extreme. Charlotte told Emily and Anne that they were ‘morally wrong’ in adopting the conventional heroine, and said to them, ‘I will show you a heroine as plain and as small as myself, who shall be as interesting as any of yours.’[1] [1] Charlotte Brontë’s letter quoted in W. L. Cross, The Development of the English Novel, (London: Macmillan & Co. Ltd: 1899 rpt. 1964), p. 228.
