Suffer and Be Still Women in the Victorian Age
Suffer and Be Still: Women in the Victorian Age By Martha Vicinus (editor)
2013 | 258 Pages | ISBN: 0415836492 | PDF | 10 MB
First published in 1972, this book contains a collection of ten essays that document the feminine stereotypes that women fought against, and only partially erased, a hundred years ago. In an introductory essay, Martha Vicinus describes the perfect Victorian lady, showing that the ideal was a combination of sexual innocence, conspicuous consumption and worship of the family hearth. Indeed, this model in some form was the ideal of all classes as the perfect lady's only functions were marriage and procreation. The text offers a valuable insight into Victorian culture and society.

Striving with Grace Views of Free Will in Anglo-Saxon England

Striving with Grace Views of Free Will in Anglo-Saxon England
Striving with Grace: Views of Free Will in Anglo-Saxon England By Aaron J. Kleist
2008 | 436 Pages | ISBN: 0802091636 | PDF | 3 MB
The question of whether or not our decisions and efforts make a difference in an uncertain and uncontrollable world had enormous significance for writers in Anglo-Saxon England. 'Striving with Grace looks' at seven authors who wrote either in Latin or Old English, and the ways in which they sought to resolve this fundamental question. For Anglo-Saxon England, as for so much of the medieval West, the problem of individual will was complicated by a widespread theistic tradition that influenced writers, thinkers, and their hypotheses.Aaron J. Kleist examines the many factors that produced strikingly different, though often complementary, explanations of free will in early England. Having first established the perspectives of Augustine, he considers two Church Fathers who rivalled Augustine's impact on early England, Gregory the Great and the Venerable Bede, and reconstructs their influence on later English writers. He goes on to examine Alfred the Great's 'Old English Boethius' and Lantfred of Winchester's 'Carmen de libero arbitrio', and the debt that both texts owe to Boethius' classic 'De consolatione Philosophiae'. Finally, Kleist discusses Wulfstan the Homilist and Ælfric of Eynsham, two seminal writers of late Anglo-Saxon England. Striving with Grace shows that all of these authors, despite striking differences in their sources and logic, underscore humanity's need for grace even as they labour to affirm the legitimacy of human effort.
