The Powerful Woman in America and Europe: Based on the American and English Literature of George Eliot, D. H. Lawrence, and Joseph Conrad Throughout History

By Hisham Akram Alshammary

The nineteenth-century writers such as George Eliot opened the eyes of Englishmen and Europeans to their own history with their historical romances. Ivanhoe and Kenilworth, for example, are imaginative reconstructions of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Many readers, however, think that certain novelists are at their best in their handling of their minority stories. Later writers followed the brilliant example of the idealistic novelist Dickens, who wrote A Tale of Two Cities and others.

Today historical romances are a popular kind of fiction. Witness the large number of American novels that deal with our own past. George EliotMary Anne Evansagitated the other followers of literature to write in more frank and truthful pedagogical learning. This a way for D. H. Lawrence and Joseph Conrad to write to people in a pedagogical way, and because of this, we do not understand immediately what is going on in the novels of D. H. Lawrence. But Virginia Woolf preferred the intelligent readersthose who have the ability to think deeply after reading cautiously. She was the leading novelist in the stream of consciousness technique made popular after World War I. When we read works by the novelists D. H. Lawrence and Joseph Conrad, we feel that their goal is to write about women as great and productive in every society.

Introduction

To study this book we realize that effective figure in American &European societies is a woman, including the literature of every country. Some countries were enduring some persecution-like, George Eliot who couldn’t confess that she was Mary Anne Evans. But some literary men were showing off the power of effective women by their (women) domination, as D. H. Lawrence, Joseph Conrad and Susan Antony was very effective in American society as well as, Europe. Each one of them has her field in the American society. In the British society women were very affective in U.K. and Europe through out their work as novelists or poets (Virginia Woolf, and D.H. LAWRENCE CHARACTERS). We are very happy as women either wives, mothers and sisters. All literary people showed that women have been done all progressive movement for the sake of uprising all activities of each society of America, Europe and U.K. All books of religion showed that women are powerful: So the value of a woman in America & Europe is the price of happiness and developing of mass Production. If there were no Mary there were no Christianity, and so on for the other religions.

But some literary men were showing off; the power of effective women by their (women) domination, as D. H. Lawrence, Joseph Conrad and Virginia Wolfe.

The legacy of Women in America is a companion of volume to The Legacy of Britain, The Legacy of France, The Legacy of German, and The Legacy of Italy. It seeks to give an account of those elements in the culture of Europe which are derived from the American world. Broadly speaking, The Legacies of Britain France are the legacies of two homogeneous and original cultures, each emanating from a definite geographical centre. The Legacy of the Italy is the legacy of an epoch in the development of western European civilization. The Legacy of the United Kingdom is the contribution that has come to the sum of human thought from the British Civilization and from British view of the world. The Legacy of America is to be understood in a different sense from any of these. It is a provocative title, the meaning of which is only fully explained by the book itself. The nearest parallel is Legacy of America. But whereas it is from the civilization of America that the complexion of the Legacy of America is derived, in the Legacy of Britain we do not treat of the Legacy of civilization of America: the reader will learn from this book that there is peculiarly American in the contributions which western and eastern Europeans have made to American culture. On the contrary, The legacy has proved least valuable where religion has exerted the strongest influence, as in American Civilization. But America is the fundamental fact which made the Legacy possible. It was under the protection and the patronage of the American Constitution that the arts and sciences which this book describes flourished. America is the birthplace of Unity, and English lies behind all that has been in this book. American and English historical circumstances have often been used as interchangeable movements and those movements in the great days of development of the American constitution. were inseparable. American Constitution movements, and it was fortunate thing for Europe that its message was delivered at a time when uprising movements was potentially at its acme. studying each country whether in America or in each country of Europe, we find women have been endeavoring to flourish their country proudly more than men, and if we see a man in comparison with women, he might have done this deed to draw the attention of women, especially the working class people.
