Mary Wollstonecraft: A Revolutionary LifeBloomsbury Publishing, 30 lug 2014 - 1 pagine The combination of Mary Wollstonecraft works, with her efforts to live a revolutionary inner and outer life has no equal. In her richly detailed, all-encompassing biography of the first major feminist in England, Mary Wollstonecraft, Janet Todd highlights her intellectual and sexual dilemmas, her glamorous and tumultuous life and loves. Since the first publication of Mary Wollstonecraft: A revolutionary Life in 2000, further historical evidence has been discovered – a letter to Count Bernsdorf in 1795 – and Janet Todd has revised this 2014 Bloomsbury Reader edition of her biography to reflect the new perspective this letter gives to some of the events. |
Sommario
A little patience and all will be over | |
Without someone to love this world is a desart to me | |
How my heart pants to be free | |
I scarcely know what to do with myself | |
The kind of company I find most pleasure in | |
I succeed beyond my most sanguine hopes | |
Falling a sacrifice to a passion | |
I shall shut up all my private sorrows in my own breast | |
We must each of us wear a fools cap | |
How silent is now Versailles | |
I fear not their knives | |
