Summary

In George Gissing's novel, The Odd Women, the author explores the lives of single middle-class women in Victorian England and their struggles for independence and fulfillment. This feminist classic, written in a realistic and naturalistic style, delves into themes of gender roles, societal expectations, and the constraints of marriage. The novel provides a thought-provoking look at the challenges faced by women in a male-dominated society, shedding light on the complexities of female experience during the late 19th century. Gissing's attention to detail and character development makes this work a compelling read for those interested in feminist literature and social commentary of the Victorian era. George Gissing's own experiences as a working-class man and his observations of gender dynamics in society likely influenced his writing of The Odd Women. His keen insights into the struggles faced by women of his time provide a valuable perspective on the social issues of the period. I recommend The Odd Women to readers interested in exploring the intersection of gender, society, and literature in the Victorian era.

    Ur was a considerable Sumerian city-state in old Mesopotamia, situated near modern-day "Tell el-Muqayyar" in the Dhi Qar Governorate in southern Iraq. Ur was formerly a seaside city on the Persian Gulf, near the mouth of the Euphrates, but the shoreline has modified, and the city is now well inland, on the south bank of the Euphrates, sixteen kilometers (about 9.9 miles) from Nasiriyah in modern-day Iraq. 
    The city stemmed from the Ubaid period around 3800 BC, and it initially appears in written history as a city-state in the 26th century BC, with Mesannepada as its first noted king. 
    In this guide, you will be able to satisfy your curiosity about this ancient location.

  • A Theologico-Political Treatise A Political Treatise - cover

    A Theologico-Political Treatise...

    Baruch Spinoza

    Though it first aroused anger and controversy rather than admiration and acceptance, A Theologico-Political Treatise was a landmark in the analysis of theology (with particular reference to the Bible and its Jewish and Christian interpretations) and its relationship to philosophy and politics. Spinoza’s scholarly analysis, based on careful study, demonstrated that the Bible was composed by many writers over the centuries - and that even the Pentateuch, the first five books, were not the work of Moses, as was generally assumed at the time.  
     
    When the treatise appeared in 1670, this was highly controversial, questioning as it did the nature of God and miracles. Further, theology and philosophy, he maintained, should be kept separate. The treatise is also notable for the unequivocally libertarian view Spinoza promulgated: ‘Everyone should be free to choose for himself the foundations of his creed, and that faith should be judged only by its fruits; each would then obey God freely with his whole heart, while nothing would be publicly honoured save justice and charity.’  
     
    Baruch Spinoza was born in 1632 into a Sephardic/Portuguese family in Amsterdam but left Judaism, embraced Christianity and died in 1677 a highly learned philosopher. Best known for his Ethics, which, for his own safety, was published posthumously, A Theologico-Political Treatise was published in his lifetime, though anonymously. It underpinned his later reputation as the father of modern metaphysics and moral and political philosophy. Its unmistakable blend of considered scholarly argument with passionate declarations make it lively and relevant listening even in the 21st century.  
     
    A Political Treatise, in which Spinoza set out to examine three forms of government - monarchy, aristocracy, democracy - was left unfinished at his death but reflects a clear-thinking analysis presented through a 17th century prism.
