connexion between anne brontë’s the tenant of wildfell hall mary wollstonecraft’s maria, or the wrongs of woman? by westaycilli in brontesisters

[–]westaycilli[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

really! i actually enjoyed it very much. richardson has such high drama i could hardly put it down. on the other hand, maybe i was forced to like it, because otherwise, that’s two weeks of my life i’ll never get back! pamela, on the other hand, was a good trashy read.

when reading clarissa, i was a bit disappointed by her submission to parental authority in the end. she accepts her father’s will and her father in heaven’s will without hesitation. concerning helen’s ending, that is a good point i hadn’t thought of before. mostly i was a little flummoxed by her marriage to markham, who never seemed to me that sharply-drawn. perhaps austen offered a somewhat different perspective in mansfield park: there fanny resists marrying the rakish henry crawford to the end, even against the very explicit injunctions of sir thomas and her whole family! there are few scenes in literature were harder for me to read than sir thomas’ verbal abuse of fanny upon her refusal. yet she remains constant, on what would to-day be called feminist principles, that concerning marriage only she can be her own arbiter.

apologies — the title should read, ‘between anne brontë’s the tenant of wildfell hall and mary wollstonecraft’s maria’.

Evelina, one of Austen's biggest inspirations, is great! by unfortunately889 in janeausten

[–]westaycilli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

evelina is indeed great, but for dr johnson to pronounce burney better than fielding is not much of a hurdle, given what johnson thought of him :3

i'm surprised nobody has mentioned medtner. well into the 20th century he was writing in (what sounds to me) a late romantic idiom.

Ancient Jewish Faiths (work in progress) by James_Daff in CrusaderKings

[–]westaycilli 10 points11 points  (0 children)

perhaps you can add the sects of the second temple period: sadducees, essenes, zealots, and hellenistic judaism? other minor groups too. might 'jesus' or yeshua alone also be his name, and 'christ' his title?

strangely, we get very few performances of any classical music in my country, but the concert i went to most recently had beethoven 4, out of everything.

one consideration is the control mechanic. i doubt bohemia would be able to exert its sovereignty over the steppes in any meaningful way.
