Gebundenes Buch

The Autobiography Of Christopher Kirkland V2

Beschreibung

The matrimonial ideal of the one love for life, beginning in youth, enduring through maturity to old age, and ending only with death, is of course the purest and noblest basis of the family. Extremes meeting, we see this condition fulfilled in those elemental states of society where wants are few, the intellect is undeveloped, the sphere restricted, and the instincts, satisfied, leave no room for vagrant imagination--where in fact, there is no imagination to go astray.

Autor

Eliza Lynn Linton was born on February 10, 1822, in Keswick, United Kingdom, to John Linton and Elizabeth Linton. She became the first female salaried journalist in Britain, marking a significant achievement for women in the field of journalism. Linton was also a prolific writer, having authored more than 20 novels, as well as a wide range of essays and short stories. Her work spanned the Victorian period, and she often explored themes of social and gender issues in her writing. Despite her pioneering role as an independent woman, Linton's personal views were somewhat contradictory; while she gained prominence as a successful writer and journalist, many of her essays took an anti-feminist stance, expressing reservations about the evolving role of women in society. Her career included writing for various publications, and she became known for her strong opinions on societal norms and gender roles. In 1858, she partnered with William James Linton, an engraver and writer, with whom she had a long relationship. Linton continued to write until her death on July 14, 1898, in Westminster, London, leaving behind a legacy as both a trailblazer for women in journalism and a controversial voice on gender issues.
