 Title:  "Prigs" and "Cads" in Fiction  
 Published:  1998 
 Subjects:  University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text 
 Description: A RECENT review puts the question thus: "Although women make the amenities of life, and men would soon 'hottentot,' as Miss Edgeworth has it, if left to themselves, why is it that women's heroes are almost invariably prigs or cads of the first water?" And the reviewer adds: "We thought we had reached the limit in Daniel Deronda, but even he shows up well beside Mrs. Wharton's insufferable Selden: and now here is Barry Carleton filling us with a vulgar but lively desire to 'punch his head for him.'"
