Shakespeare's Heroines: Characteristics of Women, Moral, Poetical and Historical (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
I have endeavoured to illustrate the various
modifications of which the female character is sus-
ceptible, with their causes and results. My life
has been spent in observing and thinking; I have
had, as you well know, more opportunities for the
first, more leisure for the last, than have fallen to
the lot of most people. What I have seen, felt,
thought, suffered, has led me to form certain
opinions. It appears to me that the condition of
women in society, as at present constituted, is falsa
in itself, and injurious to them, that the education
of women, as at present conducted, is founded in
mistaken principles, and tends to increase fear-
fully the sum of misery and error in both sexes ;
but I do not choose presumptuously to fling these
opinions in the face of the world, in the form of
essays on morality, and treatises on education. 1
have rather chosen to illustrate certain positions
by examples, and leave my readers to deduce the
moral themselves, and draw their OWN inferences.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an analysis of female characters in Shakespearean works. The author believes that Shakespeare's works present women as they truly are, rather than as idealizations or caricatures, and that these characters are an essential element of the literary canon. The book contains a deep analysis and classification of the ways in which Shakespeare used female characters to portray the true breadth, power, and diversity of the female condition, achieving depth of characterization well ahead of his time.
