One of the giants of Venetian Renaissance architecture of the 16th century Andrea Palladio based his designs on the values of Greek architecture and the traditions of Roman architecture as outlined by Vitruvius. He is regarded as one of the greatest architects in the history of Western art best known for his villas in the Veneto as well as his palaces Vicenza and churches Venice all located within the Venetian Republic. His architectural theories were laid out in his treatise Quattro Libri dell Architettura The Four Books of Architecture which had a profound impact on building design throughout Europe and America. His style of architecture - a blend of Greek Roman and Renaissance art later known as Palladianism - accorded the greatest priority to maintaining symmetry perspective and overall harmony in the manner of Greco-Roman temple architecture and was widely imitated during the 17th and 18th centuries.

The Athenian Oracle a sort of 17th-century version of Quora had its roots in The Athenian Mercury a magazine published twice a week in London between 1690 and 1697. Its Editor-in-Chief John Dunton had come upon the idea of having an advice-column in the magazine giving the readers a chance to send in their questions which would then be answered by a group of experts. This group called 'The Athenian Society' consisted of a Dr. Norris the Mathematician Richard Sault the clergyman and author Samuel Wesley as well as John Dunton himself. The questions received by the society covered everything from natural sciences and philosophy to literature and religion and in 1703 they were collected and published as The Athenian Oracle. Questions range from "why horses neigh" or "how dew is produced" to asking "if there is a cure for stammering" as well as philosophical questions "on what happiness is" or "what death is". Some of the questions were written by women resulting in a spin-off called "The Ladies Mercury" which was published for four weeks in 1693 and was the first periodical specifically aimed for women.

Foster Hannah Webster A Lady of Massachusetts the Author of The CoquetteABAA

The Boarding School; or Lessons of a Preceptress to her Pupils

17983468Boston: Isaiah Thomas and E.T. Andrews 1798. First edition. Rebound to style in full calf with morocco and gilt to spine. Original endpapers retained. 252 pages. Paper repairs to chips along the outer edges of title and dedication pages not touching text. Pages toned with light scattered foxing throughout mostly limited to pages 193-209; overall unmarked legible and pleasing. The second work by the first native-born American woman novelist it has become quite scarce. Currently the only first edition on the market this title has appeared only three times at auction since 1983. The rare second novel by best-selling Massachusetts author Hannah Webster Foster. Only one year before the release of her epistolary novel The Coquette made Foster a literary sensation. "Not only was it the first novel written by a native-born American woman in its depiction of an intelligent and strong-willed heroine the novel transcends many of the conventions of its time and place" History of American Women. Her sophomore release was no less important. Continuing to deploy the popular epistolary form of its predecessor The Boarding School "promotes improved female education through its depiction of an exemplary boarding school teacher" and remained "equally concerned with the status of women in the early republic" ANB. At a time when the fledgling nation was debating women's status and establishing its earliest statutes on schooling Foster uses her platform to argue "the many advantages of a good education and the importance of improving those advantages." Dividing the work into two key sections Foster uses the first portion to describe "the finishing school run by Mrs. Maria Williams including exhortations on social conduct reading and general preparations for survival"; meanwhile the second portion is dedicated to "letters from the students to the teacher and to each other demonstrating the beneficial effects of Mrs. William's instruction" History of American Women. Recent scholarship has emphasized that The Boarding School builds upon an already central concern in Foster's prior novel: "the crucial role played by tightly knit circles of women" which "would have been deeply resonant to the young women who were her primary readers" Pettengill. Like The Coquette her second book "portrays women during the crucial transition in their lives from daughterhood to wife-and-motherhood from parental to husbandly authority. But the boarding school set is younger with school days still fresh in their memories and the complications of courtship and marriage only just coming into their range of vision.in The Boarding School the male world is shadowy and vague.not yet jostling the women with demands that threaten even as they support the logical self-sufficiency of sisterhood and the female sphere" Pettengill. By bridging the didactic advice book with the epistolary novel Foster suggests that women need education as "the foundation of a useful and happy life" and that school provides them with this as well as with a lifelong female community built on shared experience. The "perfect Republican mother" Mrs. Williams provides the girls with the perfect model on which to base themselves giving Foster a means for arguing that women must educate other women in order to create a strong and lasting national foundation Newton.
