From Manybooks: The story of a woman who leaves her abusive, dissolute husband, and who must then support herself and her young son. By challenging the prevailing morals of the time the novel caused a critic to pronounce it ''utterly unfit to be put into the hands of girls''. It is considered to be one of the first feminist novels. Last edited by cearbhallain; 04-23-2010 at 07:43 PM. |

I'll third that. Mary Shelley's Frankenstein would make a good discussion.

Wonderful move. This cuts through red tape like a hot knife with butter. It slices through the Gordian knot even before it is tied up! Genial! This demonstrates that absolute monarchy is the best form of government. According to some authors it should be temperated by regicide, but not in this case though. Bob, you have my never ending support and gratitude! |

I don't know what you mean by "oral tradition". If you look at the first post in the thread you'll find this clearly stated:

When is the Poll? The poll thread will open at the end of the nomination period, or once there have been 10 books with 3 nominations each. At that time a link to the poll thread will be posted here and this thread will be closed. Either or works like this: Either you eat this soup or you jump from the window. Slightly independent events per se. I understand: I open the the poll either at the end of the nomination (27 April) or once there have been etc.etc. Oral comes from my previous post about regicide. It is, in my intention, a metaphor. Next step would have been a reference to auto de fé. |
