Subjects: Husband and wife.; Women.
Description: Women as exceptional in the spoken arts, men predominant in the art of galantry are the subject of Blaufus' two speeches delivered to the German Society in Jena. The free-wheeling talks touch upon a great number of other topics, however, including women in the arts, women in history, women as the traditional calming influence upon men. The satirical undercurrent is strong.
