In "Youth and Age," think how much is
actually said, and with a brevity impossible in prose; things, too, far
from easy for poetry to say gracefully, such as the image of the steamer,
or the frank
reference
to "this altered size"; and then see with what an
art, as of the very breathing of syllables, it passes into the most flowing
of lyric forms.

| Question: |
Why did the interest in educating girls increase during the years of 1770-1810? |
| Answer: |
The interest in educating girls increased during the years of 1770-1810 due to a growing intellectual influence, as expressed in literature and specifically through the works of female authors such as Sophie Laroche, Karoline Flachsland, Charlotte Stein, and Charlotte Kalb. This interest was also influenced by the general interest in education during this time period, which included discussions and debates on the best methods and content for educating girls. The movement towards girls' education was sparked in France in 1762 with the publication of Rousseau's "Emile", which presented the character of Sophie and captured the attention of the educated world in both France and Germany. The first schools for girls were established during this period, with educators like Basedow advocating for co-education and the use of new educational methods. |

Loneliness
