What a misfortune it is to be born a woman! In vain, dear Leonora, would you reconcile me to my doom. Condemned to incessant hypocrisy, or everlasting misery, woman is the slave or the outcast of society. Confidence in our fellow-creatures, or in ourselves, alike forbidden us, to what purpose have we understandings, which we may not use? hearts, which we may not trust? To our unhappy sex genius and sensibility are the most treacherous gifts of Heaven. Why should we cultivate talents merely to gratify the caprice of tyrants? Why seek for knowledge, which can prove only that our wretchedness is irremediable?

Helen is a novel written by Maria Edgeworth, first published in 1834. The story is set in England in the early 19th century and follows the life of Helen Stanley, the daughter of a wealthy landowner. Helen is a strong-willed and independent young woman who is determined to make her own choices in life, despite the expectations of society.The novel explores themes of gender roles, class, and the power dynamics in relationships. Helen is forced to navigate a world where women are expected to be subservient to men and where social status determines one's worth. She faces many challenges, including a difficult relationship with her father, a love triangle, and a scandal that threatens to ruin her reputation.Throughout the novel, Helen must learn to balance her desire for independence with the expectations of those around her. She must also confront her own biases and prejudices, particularly towards those of a lower social class. Ultimately, Helen's journey is one of self-discovery and empowerment, as she learns to assert her own agency and make her own way in the world.Helen is a classic work of literature that remains relevant today, offering a powerful critique of societal norms and expectations. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of women's rights and the struggle for equality.""Why not?"" Beauclerc asked, ""it was full as well worth having as many of the relics to be found in most young ladies' and even old gentlemen's museums. It was quite sufficient whether a man had been great or little that he had been talked of, --that he had been something of a lion--to make any thing belonging to him valuable to collectors, who preserve and worship even 'the parings of lions' claws.'""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Nineteenth Century Collections Online: European Literature, 1790-1840: The Corvey Collection includes the full-text of more than 9,500 English, French and German titles. The collection is sourced from the remarkable library of Victor Amadeus, whose Castle Corvey collection was one of the most spectacular discoveries of the late 1970s. The Corvey Collection comprises one of the most important collections of Romantic era writing in existence anywhere -- including fiction, short prose, dramatic works, poetry, and more -- with a focus on especially difficult-to-find works by lesser-known, historically neglected writers.The Corvey library was built during the last half of the 19th century by Victor and his wife Elise, both bibliophiles with varied interests. The collection thus contains everything from novels and short stories to belles lettres and more populist works, and includes many exceedingly rare works not available in any other collection from the period. These invaluable, sometimes previously unknown works are of particular interest to scholars and researchers.European Literature, 1790-1840: The Corvey Collection includes: * Novels and Gothic Novels* Short Stories* Belles-Lettres* Short Prose Forms* Dramatic Works* Poetry* Anthologies* And moreSelected with the guidance of an international team of expert advisors, these primary sources are invaluable for a wide range of academic disciplines and areas of study, providing never before possible research opportunities for one of the most studied historical periods.Additional MetadataPrimary Id: B0236904PSM Id: NCCOF0063-C00000-B0236904DVI Collection Id: NCCOC0062Bibliographic Id: NCCO003275Reel: 1140MCODE: 4UVCOriginal Publisher: Printed for J.
