"Locksley Hall"

1. What does Ellis see as the proper role of, and consequently the proper education for, the Englishwomen? What does Patmore see as the characteristics of the "paragon" Angel in the House? How would Mill react to the views of these writers?
2. Ellis says that Britain's "adventurous sons" have been sent "to every point of danger on the habitable globe" bearing "a generosity, a disinterestedness, and a moral courage, derived in no small measure from the female influence of their native country" (1722). Does the speaker of "Locksley Hall" provide a supporting example for this claim? If not, does the problem lie with him or with Amy?
3. The speaker of "Locksley Hall" is another figure disenchanted with the age in which he lives. What are his specific complaints about it?
4. In the writings of Carlyle and Mill we have already seen casual, passing references to other peoples of the world as inferior to the British. What is the speaker of "Locksley Hall"'s view of the Orient (India and China) and the islands of the South Pacific? Should his fantasy of "retreating" from the West be seen as a positive desire and a repudiation of imperialism?
5. Is the speaker of "Locksley Hall" an early feminist, raving like Mill against the social pressures that have led Amy to choose another husband?
