There is so much to say about the brilliant Mary Wollstonecraft, even just from this short preface! Do let me know your thoughts and observations. I’d love to hear from you.
I agree. Prefaces are so interesting because they reveal so many things: what the author imagines readers will expect, how the author accepts &/or challenges what readers might expect, how the author plans to negotiate those expectations, etc... They're fascinating! (Well the good ones are at least - the dry, sanctimonious ones are less fun!)
Hi, Octavia! I just wanted to let you know that I'm truly enjoying all the content you are sharing on this channel. I love Mary Wollstonecraft so much and I'm always eager to find out more about her life and work. This analysis is incredible in terms of how you have outlined the context of the process Mary went through when writing and publishing this text. Besides, it was really clear how you established those parallels to other novellas that had women as the protagonists. Sorry if I am commenting generalities, but I'm really glad for this kind of videos. Thank you!❤️️ Keep it up and have a great Sunday!💫
This was super interesting. I knew about Vindication, but didn't realize she had also written a novel. I love your analysis of the preface...it is wonderful to see how Wollstonecraft positioned her work against the Pamela-type picaresque novels of that time, which were so artificial. Great stuff!
It all started,,,with the movie about Mary Shelly, released in the recent past. It started me down the Mary Woolstancraft rabbit hole. Listened to a philosophy podcast. Just found this audiobooks on RUclips. Looking at all cultures now thru a Woolstancraft lens. But don't know much about her really. Bare bones. A fictional/novel could be fun to add. Thank you, again.
It's my pleasure, Cynthia. Yes, 'Mary: A Fiction' is a helpful way, I think, into understanding more about Wollstonecraft's life - especially the intensity of her female friendships.
Some say that Christine De Pisane French based Italian social.writer in late 1300s early 1400s, later other Italian + etc.? Renaissance writers, English + etc? in 1600s Alpha Behn, etc in England etc in other parts of Europe, etc.

Wollstonecraft is so fierce!
Agreed. She certainly doesn't take any nonsense!
Even having a preface to explain, is an interesting tool. I've learned to love a good preface. Thank you!

Thank you very much indeed. Not at all - thank you for your observations. Octavia

You have a misspelling on the early screen there - you show Herione! Instead of Heroine... with this critical topic you may want to correct that!
Oh no! Well spotted. Whoops - what a typo. Sadly I can't amend the videos once they're posted. Octavia
😁...helping with the algorithm lol
Those dudes can kiss my 'grand end'
