Abstract

[Chapter 5 explores two micro-historical incidents in 1898 and 1902 to convey how Maynard’s patriotic prophetism shaped her intimacy and subjugation of Marion Wakefield, an Irish Westfield student half her age. Coincidentally, Maynard’s idiosyncratic articulation of faith was rooted in South African Calvinism. Sadly, her sense of power as Mistress, English, and prophet damaged Wakefield’s health and self-esteem. Regardless, Maynard fully believed that Wakefield’s Irishness was in dire need of “civilization” and conversion. Historians analyze how an idea like Englishness created domination among people, both nationally and globally; however, few explore how pious patriotism shaped sex feelings among British women. Maynard’s relationship with Wakefield may appall readers, yet it symbolized late-Victorian concern over global control in the fin de siècle.]
