The Female Characters of George Eliot:
[ send me this essay ]
This 22 page report discusses the writer George Eliot (1819-1880) and her remarkable ability to present the women of Victorian England to the literary world. Typically, Victorian literature presents an idealization of women as passionless and innately virtuous models of feminine behavior. Eliot came to occupy a central position in English literary circles and was thought of as bold and unconventional in both her personal life and her work. Her writing most often compares industrialization with the halcyon and generally rural archetype and offers a discourse on the limitations and suffering caused by gender and class discrimination, as well as individual characters’ struggles with their personal moral development and their relationships with others. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page overview of the underlying theme of femininity in these two short stories. Suggests that in many ways these depictions vary somewhat from the stereotypical vision of male writers depicting weak and inferior women and female writers presenting a more factually accurate portrait of their female characters. In many ways Poe presents a stronger image of women in "Ligeia" than does Cooke in "My Visitation". While Poe's short stories could be said to glorify the image of a strong woman, Cooke's actually derides that strength. No additional sources are listed.
