Galeazzo, a Venetian Episode


Book Description

Excerpt from Galeazzo, a Venetian Episode: With Other Poems Yet to his speech she scant attention paid; Curt, shrewish, half-contemptuous replies Came from her rose-leaf lips; such coldness A fire within his breast; now, in his eyes A new light shone; more tender things he said, But burning words, not empty, honeyed lies, For now he loved, aye, loved her in an hour, And at his heart felt passion' s pain and power.

Revolted Woman: Past, present, and to come


Book Description

'Revolted Woman: Past, present, and to come' by Charles G. Harper is a controversial, anti-feminist book written in the Victorian era. The author argues that women should not aspire to rule men or seek equality with them, but should instead accept their lot in life and take responsibility for the disobedience that brought the curse of toil and trouble on humanity—which refers to Eve's original sin. Harper asserts that women are illogical, emotional, and superstitious, incapable of reasoning or following an argument to its conclusion. At its core, he questions whether the New Woman, touted as a pedagogue who will teach men virtue and contentment, is fit to lead mankind.
