Lilith: A Victorian Verse Retelling of Adam's First Wife, Edenic Rebellion, and the Price of Freedom - Couverture souple
Synopsis
Ada Langworthy Collier's Lilith is a richly imagined poetic rendering of the ancient legend of Adam's first wife, the woman who, refusing subordination, departs Eden before Eve's creation. Cast in elevated, late-Victorian verse, the work blends biblical myth, rabbinic folklore, and Romantic moral drama, transforming a marginal demonized figure into a tragic emblem of intellectual pride, wounded autonomy, and spiritual exile. Its style is ornate, meditative, and allegorical, placing it within the nineteenth-century revival of mythic subjects used to debate gender, authority, and the costs of rebellion. Collier, an American writer associated with the literary culture of the Midwest, brought to the legend both a poet's sensitivity to symbolic narrative and a woman writer's awareness of the constraints imposed upon female ambition and speech. Living in an era when women's rights, education, and marriage laws were under vigorous debate, she found in Lilith a figure through whom to explore independence, desire, and punishment without abandoning the moral seriousness expected of her time. This book is recommended to readers interested in feminist literary prehistory, biblical adaptation, and nineteenth-century mythopoetic writing. Lilith rewards those who appreciate verse that is intellectually ambitious, historically suggestive, and hauntingly concerned with freedom's price.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - In 'Lilith,' Ada Langworthy Collier weaves a captivating narrative that delves into the complexities of female identity and the struggle for self-realization. Set against the backdrop of a late Victorian society that often confines women within rigid societal expectations, Collier's prose is both lyrical and incisive, blending elements of gothic fiction with feminist themes. The titular character, Lilith, transcends traditional archetypes, embodying a spirit of rebellion and independence that challenges patriarchal norms, embodying the tensions between desire and duty, autonomy and repression. Ada Langworthy Collier was not only a notable author but also an advocate for women's rights, deeply influenced by the burgeoning feminist movements of her time. Her own experiences as a women's rights activist, coupled with her literary ambition, informed her portrayal of strong, multidimensional female characters. Collier's engagement with the themes of love, sacrifice, and liberation reflects her commitment to articulating the struggles women face in seeking both personal and social autonomy. 'Lilith' is recommended for readers seeking an insightful exploration of gender dynamics through the lens of an imaginative narrative. This potent tale invites deep reflection on the nature of womanhood and the quest for authenticity, making it an essential read for those inclined toward feminist literature and historical contexts.
