Jude the Obscure-Perpustakaan.org
Author : Thomas Hardy
Published by Createspace Independent Publishing PlatformPublished since 2016-09-08
Jude the Obscure is Thomas Hardy's final novel, which follows the story of Jude - a young man who aspires to intellectual achievement beyond his profession of stonemason.
Aspiring to scholarly heights, from childhood Jude reads and teaches himself Greek and Latin, and shows aptitude in assimilating such knowledge.
However during his teenage years he meets Arabella, who manipulates him into marriage by claiming pregnancy.
Although the pair separate without divorcing, Jude is further distracted from his aspirations by his flamboyant young cousin Sue Bridehead, with whom he falls in love.
Although eventually forming a union with Sue, Jude finds difficulty in reconciling his Christian beliefs with the non-adherence of his cousin.
These differences further hinder Jude's aim of eventually rising above his working class origins and escaping economic oppression, as social stigma against he and Sue living together unmarried acts as an additional oppression.
Published in 1895, Jude the Obscure struck a chord with the reading public for its intense characterisation and narrative.
It was one of the earliest works of fiction to criticise the institution of marriage, juxtaposing the religious origins behind matrimony and the public's then-condemnatory attitude to long term couples who remain unmarried.
Throughout the lengthy narrative, it also paints a stark portrait of the rigid class structure and social conventions of the Victorian era, and their stymieing of individuals who may otherwise be of great promise.

The Minister's Wooing-Perpustakaan.org
Author : Hablot Knight Browne Phiz
Published by Published since 2019-12-12
The Minister's Wooing is a historical novel by Harriet Beecher Stowe, first published in 1859.
Set in 18th-century New England, the novel explores New England history, highlights the issue of slavery, and critiques the Calvinist theology in which Stowe was raised.[ Due to similarities in setting, comparisons are often drawn between this work and Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter (1850).
However, in contrast to Hawthorne's The Scarlett Letter, The Minister's Wooing is a "sentimental romance"; its central plot revolves around courtship and marriage.
Moreover, Stowe's exploration of the regional history of New England deals primarily with the domestic sphere, the New England response to slavery, and the psychological impact of the Calvinist doctrines of predestination and disinterested benevolence.With its intense focus upon the history, customs, and mannerisms of New England, The Minister's Wooing is one sense an example of the local color writing that proliferated in late 19th century.
However, by highlighting the issue of slavery, this time in the north, The Minister's Wooing also represents a continuation of Stowe's earlier anti-slavery novels.Finally, the work serves as a critique of Calvinism, written from the perspective of an individual deeply familiar with the theological system.
Stowe's father was the well-known Calvinist minister Lyman Beecher, and Stowe based many aspects of the novel upon events in the lives of herself and her older sister Catharine's life.
Throughout the novel, Stowe portrays the reaction of different personality types to the pressures of Calvinist principles, illustrating in this manner what she perceives as Calvinism's strengths and weaknesses.
In particular, responding to the untimely death of her sister's fiancé and the death of two of her own children, Stowe addresses the issue of predestination, the idea that individuals were either saved or damned, and only the elect would go to heaven.
..Hablot Knight Browne (10 July 1815 - 8 July 1882) was an English artist and illustrator.
Well-known by his pen name, Phiz, he illustrated books by Charles Dickens, Charles Lever, and Harrison Ainsworth.
..Harriet Elisabeth Beecher Stowe ( June 14, 1811 - July 1, 1896) was an American abolitionist and author.
She came from the Beecher family, a famous religious family, and is best known for her novel Uncle Tom's Cabin (1852), which depicts the harsh conditions for enslaved African Americans.
The book reached millions as a novel and play, and became influential in the United States and Great Britain, energizing anti-slavery forces in the American North, while provoking widespread anger in the South.
Stowe wrote 30 books, including novels, three travel memoirs, and collections of articles and letters.
She was influential for both her writings and her public stances and debates on social issues of the day.
Life and workHarriet Elisabeth Beecher was born in Litchfield, Connecticut, on June 14, 1811.
She was the sixth of 11 children born to outspoken Calvinist preacher Lyman Beecher.
Her mother was his first wife, Roxana (Foote), a deeply religious woman who died when Stowe was only five years old.
Roxana's maternal grandfather was General Andrew Ward of the Revolutionary War.
Her notable siblings included a sister, Catharine Beecher, who became an educator and author, as well as brothers who became ministers: including Henry Ward Beecher, who became a famous preacher and abolitionist, Charles Beecher, and Edward Beecher.
