"It is just for this reason," pursued Launcelot, hastily, not wishing to let her drift back into her usual mood, "that no attempt is ever really wasted however unsuccessful. Achievement, after all, can never be more than partial, but some expansion of consciousness always follows even the most meagre." Some vague suspicion made him presently ask--"Does your mother object to your painting?" "Not on velvet," said Nelly, promptly. Launcelot turned away with a hopeless laugh. One might as well question the Sphinx as this girl, if she fell into a certain mood! That mood seemed to pass suddenly away, for she said, quite seriously--"Luckily for me, I only care a good deal for art, not overwhelmingly. If I did, my life would be inevitably very unhappy. I could not get the necessary training--that would never be allowed. And then there is something else necessary, is there not?--something that all artists require, whatever their art may be--freedom, experience, variety of sensations, and--and so on--I don't know how to express it. If you knew our world, you would see how out of the question that something is. You said yourself the other day that an artist should not shut himself into his studio; he should live and learn with the rest of humanity. Now in point of fact, wellbrought-up young ladies have nothing to do with humanity." Still more was Launcelot astonished. He had not quite accepted the current opinion that girls of this class were all revelling in contented ignorance, but he had supposed that the very meagreness of the life, and its absence of outlook, must prevent them from becoming dissatisfied with the smooth and agre...

The Wing of Azrael (Valancourt Classics)

( In 1888, a little-known writer named Mona Caird ignited...)

In 1888, a little-known writer named Mona Caird ignited a firestorm of controversy when she published her essay "Marriage" in The Westminster Review, arguing that modern marriage was a failure. Over the six month period that followed, the journal received some 27,000 letters in response, and only the Whitechapel murders of Jack the Ripper succeeded in finally turning attention away from the debate. The following year, Caird published her three volume novel The Wing of Azrael, which incorporated many of her views on the status of women and the problems with modern marriage. Viola Sedley, an imaginative and independent young woman, finds herself falling in love with the dashing Harry Lancaster, but her parents have arranged a marriage for her with Sir Philip Dendraith in order to avert their own financial ruin. Viola believes she is doing her duty by acceding to her parents' wishes and marrying Philip, but she soon discovers that married life is intolerable to her. Tormented by her husband's cruelty and hemmed in by social conventions, Viola dreams of ways to escape the bondage of her marriage. And as her life becomes more and more wretched and her urge to be free becomes unbearable, Viola will find herself led inexorably toward a shocking and tragic fate! First published in 1889, The Wing of Azrael has been out of print since its initial publication, and the original edition has survived in only a small handful of copies. This new scholarly edition of the novel features an introduction and notes by Tracey S. Rosenberg, as well as an appendix containing contemporary reviews of the novel and articles on Caird and the debate over marriage.

This brilliantly witty novel (1894) follows the lives of two sisters in a wealthy Scots family. One escapes to a profession in London and eventually a decent marriage while the heroine, Hadria, vows to become a composer in Paris, but is thwarted. The novel reveals the power of marriage and the family hold in controlling the lives of talented, spirited women; but unlike other oppressed heroines of the period, Hadria and her feminism both survive. The books includes a trailblazing essay on marriage published by Caird, a visionary novelist and social critic.

The Morality of Marriage: And Other Essays on the Status and Destiny of Woman (Cambridge Library Collection - British and Irish History, 19th Century)

(Mona Caird (1854-1932) was a British novelist and early r...)

Mona Caird (1854-1932) was a British novelist and early radical feminist social critic who insisted on maintaining her independence after marrying. Her 1888 article 'Marriage', in which she criticised marriage for limiting and subordinating women and called for equality between partners, sparked a furious controversy, and brought her widespread recognition. This volume, first published in 1897, contains a collection of Caird's feminist essays. She analyses the indignities marriage caused for women, both historically and contemporaneously, and advocates both equality in marriage (including in domestic duties) and women's economic independence. Caird also examines and criticises contemporary ideals of motherhood, discussing legislation and changes in social attitudes which would improve the lives of mothers. This volume presents a detailed account of controversial late-Victorian radical feminist views and criticisms.
