- W2931503007 abstract "REVIEWS The general introduction provides a good sense of the historical and bio graphical background as well as a reading of the Vindications. The prose is clear, informative, and intelligent. Differences between the two Vindications are summed up concisely: The first is concerned with men (and women), in society, and with the relations between different classes ... it is a work of practical politics. The second Vindication is concerned with woman (and man), in the abstract. It is a work of psychological and metaphysical (or, as Wollstonecraft’s subtitle calls it, “moral” ), a well as political, theory. (15) For modern-day scholars and students, such distinctions are useful and valu able. There is less emphasis given to Wollstonecraft’s place in the history of feminism, as the editors are more interested in situating her in the history of ideas, and in discussing how she “helped to inaugurate” the literary move ment we now call Romanticism. The many references to Rousseau’s Emile and the appendix on “The Education Debate,” containing excerpts from Talleyrand and Macaulay, enable readers to compare her to those eighteenthcentury figures who were thinking of principles of education at about the same time as Wollstonecraft. On the whole, the edition is readable, accessi ble, and very full. My reservations have to do with the size of the book — the bulk of it may scare students away — and the lack of a clearly-defined running header. The footer does not seem to work for me, and I found it difficult to flip through the book to find the section or the appendix I needed. The book is not as attractive as the Norton Critical Rights of Woman or as compact as Political Writings published in paper by Oxford World’s Clas sics. However, having an index of key terms as well as names is quite a bonus, and the appendices and the bibliography are superb. e l e a n o r t y / Wilfrid Laurier University June Sturrock, “Heaven and Home”: Charlotte M. Yonge’s Domestic Fiction and the Victorian Debate over Women. English Literary Studies Monograph Series No. 66 (Victoria: University of Victoria, 1995). 125. $14.95. There is little criticism written about Charlotte Yonge’s novels, and June Sturrock’s short monograph, “Heaven and Home”: Charlotte M. Yonge’s Domestic Fiction and the Victorian Debate over Women,” is useful because it situates Yonge’s fiction in the midst of the debate over the nineteenthcentury “Woman Question.” Despite her prolific output and contemporary popularity, current critics have largely ignored Yonge, likely because of her conservative and religious orientation. Her work is unappealing to most feminist critics looking to reread non-canonical women writers because it is anti-feminist in orientation. Yonge is a difficult writer for feminist critics 477 ESC 24, 1998 to deal with since she clearly embodies the determination and ability of many early advocates of women’s rights, yet she spurns the equality for which they fought. Sturrock, however, tackles this apparent contradiction by looking at three of Yonge’s novels ( The Daisy Chain, The Clever Women of the Family, and The Three Brides) in relation to educational reform, the question of women’s work, and women’s political and legal status. She argues that Yonge’s work deals with these issues as each became important during the course of the century. Yonge’s commitment to Tractarianism, also known as the Oxford move ment, is critical to understanding her conservative stance, and Sturrock ar gues that this religious outlook plays an important part in the contradictions in Yonge’s work. Tractarianism, Sturrock contends, although conservative in its outlook, ironically also enables Yonge in those efforts and opinions that appear most similar to feminist thought. But while it allowed Yonge a position outside society from which she could criticize “respectability,” it also constrained her. Sturrock, before discussing Yonge’s novels, gives critical historical back ground — both a discussion of Tractarianism and an outline of contemporary approaches to the feminist issues under consideration. This discussion is particularly important since many readers will not be overly familiar with Tractarianism, even if they may be more knowledgeable about the burgeon ing woman question.
