Abstract

The Comic Lover
van Doren, Carl | January 14, 1925 issue

add to cart   close window

John Thane insists on the art of love, which is also a science, is the least known and the worst applied. He might have defended himself thus, but the habit of thinking which prompted this particular image is unmistakable: it assumes that man is the first element in the relationship and that woman naturally adapts herself to him. Now this conception may have been good enough, but that it might well arouse questions in the mind of wife. Certainly it aroused the questions which gradually did away with the Victorian conception in all enlightened minds."
