A Victorian Educational Pioneer’s Evangelicalism, Leadership, and Love Introduction

A Victorian Educational Pioneer’s Evangelicalism, Leadership, and Love : Introduction [Chapter 1 introduces readers to the extraordinary yet relatively unknown English late-Victorian educational pioneer, Constance Louisa Maynard (1834–1935). The author focuses on Maynard’s privileged but ascetic upbringing and how larger ideas about class, gender, and empire shaped her life. Maynard is further contextualized in a discussion about the era that includes the importance of categories like class and new terms like agnosticism and sexology. Maynard’s unique studies in the human mind are mentioned alongside her participation in the powerful movement towards women’s higher learning. The structure of the manuscript is then outlined in discussion on the historian and the archive, historiography, and microhistory. Also discussed are the themes and theories used to analyze nine extraordinary microhistorical events caused by Maynard that illuminate her mindset and that of a society in tumult over femininity, sexuality, faith, empire, and science.] http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png

Abstract

[Chapter 1 introduces readers to the extraordinary yet relatively unknown English late-Victorian educational pioneer, Constance Louisa Maynard (1834–1935). The author focuses on Maynard’s privileged but ascetic upbringing and how larger ideas about class, gender, and empire shaped her life. Maynard is further contextualized in a discussion about the era that includes the importance of categories like class and new terms like agnosticism and sexology. Maynard’s unique studies in the human mind are mentioned alongside her participation in the powerful movement towards women’s higher learning. The structure of the manuscript is then outlined in discussion on the historian and the archive, historiography, and microhistory. Also discussed are the themes and theories used to analyze nine extraordinary microhistorical events caused by Maynard that illuminate her mindset and that of a society in tumult over femininity, sexuality, faith, empire, and science.]
