  • Naomi: The Last Days of Jerusalem

    by Mrs. J. B. Webb ...
    The sun was slowly sinking behind the lofty buildings which crowned the hill of Zion, and its departing beams were glowing on the marble walls and golden pinnacles of the Temple, when young Naomi and her friend Claudia came forth from the dwelling of Zadok the priest, and wandered down the lovely little stream of Siloë. They passed through the Water Gate, and entered a garden of luxuriant fruit ... Read more

  • The Lady's Country Companion

    by Mrs. Jane Wells Webb Loudon ...
    Your letter, my dear Annie, informing me that you are about to be married and to settle in the country, has interested me exceedingly, as it reminds me of my own youth, when my first essays in housekeeping were made under circumstances very similar to those in which you will be placed. It is true I was not then married, but, as my mother was dead, the care of the house devolved on me; and I knew ... Read more

    by Mrs. Jane Wells Webb Loudon ...
    Agnes Merton was one day sitting in rather a melancholy mood on the swing in her garden, without swinging, and apparently lost in thought. It was a very odd place for meditation, but little girls do choose strange places sometimes; and Agnes at this moment felt very sad and uncomfortable on various accounts. Her papa had been in a bad state of health for some time, and Mrs. Merton’s attention had ... Read more

  • The Mummy! A Tale of the Twenty-Second Century

    by Mrs. Jane Wells Webb Loudon ...
    I have long wished to write a novel, but I could not determine what it was to be about. I could not bear any thing common-place, and I did not know what to do for a hero. Heroes are generally so much alike, so monotonous, so dreadfully insipid—so completely brothers of one race, with the family likeness so amazingly strong—"This will not do for me," thought I as I sauntered listlessly down a shady ...

  • Botany for Ladies: A Popular Introduction to the Natural System of Plants, According to the Classification of De Candolle

    by Mrs. Jane Wells Webb Loudon ...
    The following pages are intended to enable my readers to acquire a knowledge of Botany with as little trouble to themselves as possible. As, however, Botany is a “wide word,” I must here premise that I only propose to treat of that part of the science which relates to the classification of plants, according to the natural system of Jussieu, as improved by the late Professor De Candolle; and that ...

Moving from classical tragedy through the eighteenth-century novel, Romantic and Victorian fiction, French realism, sensation writing, and modern psychological prose, the volume tests the cultural demand that femininity be angelic, passive, or morally transparent.
