Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of letters written by two young men to each other about their dealings with an enigmatic family of women called the Douglas family. The women consist of a mother and her three daughters, friends of one of the authors, who are trying to "civilize" the other author. The book focuses on the clash between the "civilized" and "uncivilized" worlds, particularly in terms of education. The young women are well-educated for their time, something that the other young man is not used to and disapproves of, calling them "bas-bleus". However, over the course of the book, he finds himself drawn into their world and begins to see the value of their pursuits. The book offers insights into the changing roles of women in society in the early 19th century, and the importance of education and open-mindedness.
