'Moll Flanders,' 'History Of Misella' And 'The Rambler': How The Role Of Women Shaped 18th Century London Society
[ send me this paper ]
14 pages in length. There has rarely been a time in the history of mankind that women have not had to struggle in order to assert their worth as a gender. From the time when males first declared patriarchal authority over their female counterparts, women have fought – in various ways and with various results – to be treated both equitably and respectfully. Literature has long reflected this perpetual struggle between the genders, most often taking the side that support patriarchal control; however, a slow but steady change began occurring in eighteenth century London society that helped nurture a growing metamorphosis, which included Samuel Johnson 'Rambler' (Misella), Daniel Defoe's 'Moll Flanders' and Frances Burney's 'Evelina: Or, the History of a Young Lady's Entrance into the World.' Bibliography lists 11 sources.

A Comparison of Victorian Poetry and Early 20th Century Poetry in Regards to the Relationships of Men and Women and the Role of Women: Tennyson, Arnold, Hardy and Yeats
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 4 page paper comparing the roles of women and the relationships between men and women in Victorian and early 20th century poetry. A comparison of the Victorian poets Alfred Lord Tennyson and Matthew Arnold with the slightly more modern early 20th century poets Thomas Hardy and William Butler Yeats shows the slowly shifting perception of the relationships between men and women and the general role women play within society and literature. Tennyson and Arnold show a struggle in their attempts to retain women in the traditional romantic roles as objects of affection although their later works reveal that while women are becoming more a part of man’s society, their acceptance is still difficult. Arnold writes more so of the isolation men feel within relationships and how vain “mortal love” can be. Hardy and Yeats through the introduction of more female characters in their works not only give women larger roles within society but also show the increasing power of women. Hardy reveals the difficulties which can exist within relationships while Yeats reveals that women and men can have equal relationships as friends and women should not be judged purely on their appearance under the classic romantic notions.
Bibliography lists 4 sources.

[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page assertion that although Jane Austen continually explores the theme of psychological and moral development in her novels, no works better encapsulate these themes than do “Pride and Prejudice” and “Sense and “Sensibility”. This paper explores the importance of impulse and obligation to two of the characters of these works, Elizabeth Bennett of “Pride and Prejudice” and Marianne Dashwood of “Sense and Sensibility”. The author emphasizes that each undergoes a process of maturation in the novel which takes them from unsteady grasp on the world and their place in it to one of self assurance and happiness.
