Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wieland's Attitude Toward, Woman and Her Cultural, and Social Relations The author of this monograph became interested in the topic of Wieland's attitude towards woman in the year 1918, while working under the guidance of his beloved teacher, the late Professor Calvin Thomas, on a seminar paper entitled "Der Zeitgeist des 18, Jahrhunderts, wie er sich in Wielands Agathon abspiegelt." The decidedly modern views on the feminist question expressed by Aspasia in her impassioned arraignment of the entire order of men encouraged the present writer to look into the matter somewhat more closely, with a view to gaining a definite and reasonably complete idea of Wieland's opinion on the subject, basing the investigation on all the works of the poet that contained any significant references to woman's characteristics or her position in the world. So far as the author knows, no comprehensive study has been made of this particular phase of Wieland's life and philosophy. Except for a few brief articles in magazines and newspapers and occasional references in the Wieland biographies and in various monographs on the poet, the theme seems not to have been discussed at any length.
