Synopsis
Excerpt from The Wedding Trip: A Comedy in Two Acts
Philip. You are painting this prospective mistress in India ink. Why so black?
Punts. You are too young to understand the intricacies of the sex. You were reared in an orphan asylum; afterward adopted by the professor, and educated for a tutorship. You never came in contact with women. Avoid women, says the philosopher. You see, Mr. Philip, there is an inner voice in our own nature warning us against them.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating and often tumultuous relationship between scholars and women, using as its starting point the author's chance discovery of a cache of love letters from the 19th Century. These letters provide a rich and deeply personal glimpse into the lives of a young female student and her professor, raising important questions about the power dynamics and expectations surrounding women in academia. The author explores the historical context of these letters, drawing parallels with other notable relationships between female students and their mentors, such as Heloise and Abelard. Through a thoughtful examination of the letters and a broader analysis of the historical and cultural forces at play, the book sheds new light on the complex and ever-evolving nature of gender roles and power structures within institutions of higher learning. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780259809623_0
