In particular, most of the reading public has never known that \"pride and prejudice\" was a traditional critique adopted by British and American antislavery writers. After Austen's lifetime, the antislavery associations intensified, especially in America.      This is the only book about the tradition and the many newly discovered uses of \"pride and prejudice\" before and after Austen's popular novel. Hundreds of examples in an annotated list show the use of \"pride and prejudice\" used to uphold independence--independent judgment, independent ethical behavior, independence that repudiated all forms of oppression. The book demonstrates how, in a natural evolution, the phrase was used to criticize enslavement and the slave trade. Eighteenth-century revolutionary Thomas Paine used the phrase in Common Sense nineteenth-century abolitionist Frederick Douglass used it throughout his lifetime. Choosing her title for these resonances, Austen supported independent reason, reinforced writing by women, and opposed enslavement.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52656858169617,"sku":"NLS9781476685311","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781476685311.jpg?v=1762226129"},{"product_id":"female-precariat-book-margie-burns-9781988963075","title":"The Female Precariat","description":"This volume addresses gender disparities in pay, professional support, and job security in both the higher education work force and in the newer digital economy.

Ordered by chronology, two chapters focus on history plays; three chapters focus on comedies and three on tragedies; one deals with Troilus and Cressida, and three chapters deal with the late romances. The anthology does not cover all of Shakespeare's plays and collaborations or the lyric poems. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe collection is ecumenical and transnational. While the contributors all recognize that Shakespeare wrote in a Renaissance Christian universe, Christianity is not the only world religion dealt with. Approaches involve history and philosophy as well as theology, and individual perspectives vary. One thing the collection makes clear is that religion, in some sense, operates in every Shakespearean work, and its large spectrum ranges through plot and character from shallow to deep, self-interested to elevated, bloody to harmonious. Religion and religious differences were also part of the fabric and history of the playwright's world, manifesting in the plays in situation, language, and iconography. From various perspectives, a common denominator is that the authors approach aspects of religion as one element in an informed analysis of the works. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53628982133009,"sku":"NLS9798881901448","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9798881901448.jpg?v=1780814453"},{"product_id":"shakespeare-and-religion-global-tapestry-dramatic-perspectives-book-margie-burns-9798881900373","title":"Shakespeare and Religion: Global Tapestry, Dramatic Perspectives","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53642084352273,"sku":"NLS9798881900373","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9798881900373.jpg?v=1781022689"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-margie-burns.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
