Book Description
Excerpt from Domestic Duties, or Instructions to Young Married Ladies, on the Management of Their Households, and the Regulation of Their Conduct in the Various Relations and Duties of Married Life No woman should place herself at the head of a family without feeling the importance of the character which she has to sustain. Her example alone may afford better in struction than either precepts or admonitions, both to her children and servants. By a daily beauty in her life, she may present a model by which all around her will insensibly mould themselves. Knowledge is power only when it fits us for the station in which we find our selves placed; then it gives decision to character; and every varying circumstance of life is met with calmness, for the principle to act upon is at hand then we are pre pared either to add our share to the amusement and inte rest of general society, or to lend our strength, on the de mand of our nearest ties, to support, comfort, or instruct. Duty will not be an appalling word to those whose minds are properly framed. Indeed, they who have made it the rule of their lives, have found it also the source of their happiness; while, in others, the consciousness or having neglected its precepts, has corroded every power of eu joyment.

Book Description
This collection aims to give a chronological insight into the evolution of conduct literature, from its early roots in the Renaissance period through to the dramatically different role that women played at the emergence of the 20th century. The material presented in this six-volume set moves away from courtly etiquette, adopting a more middle-class, domestic focus, and includes facsimile reproductions of sermons, poems, narratives and cookery books.Social and literary historians recognise the 1790s as a moment of political crisis and turbulence in British history: the intense reactions in Britain to increasing revolutionary violence in France politicised almost every aspect of cultural life. At the centre of discursive hostilities was the opposition between sentimentality, on the one hand, and rationality, on the other. Two of the most important literary forms utilised for expressing these polemics were novels and treatises on education, as well as conduct writing. Conduct Literature for Women IV, 1770-1830 makes available this body of writing, which has been less well studied in respect to the war of ideas than the former two.
