Such, for example

11、, in England was the origin of all our liberties won from government (15) by the stand first of the feudal nobility, then of churches and political parties, and latterly of trade unions, commercial organizations, and the societies for promoting various causes. Even in European lands which were arbit

17、sterity,“ and Line considered in relation to each other, the lost continent (5) of the female tradition has risen like Atlantis from the sea of English literature. It is now becoming clear that, contrary to Mills theory, women have had a literature of their own all along. The woman novelist, accordi

18、ng to Vineta (10) Colby, was “really neither single nor anomalous,“ but she was also more than a “register and spokesman for her age.“ She was part of a tradition that had its origins before her age, and has carried on through our own.
