 Christabel-Crystal
Christabel is rhythmically written in iambic tetrameter lines, apart a couple of Alexandrine lines, which serve as resonant terminations (Ferguson,1108).
At the beginning of Christabel, the protagonist Crystal is painted, at full moon, in the forest, as a lovely lady praying for her betrothed lover, within medieval imagery.
Instead, Christabel is herein presented as Crystal because Crystals are made by God's nature; Geraldine is named Golden, because when something is golden, it has been touched, heated and battered by man. This essay does not present Geraldine-Golden as the devil himself, as has been done before, but rather as an enchantress.

 Christabel Pankhurst, 0851159052, £50.00/$75.00, 168pp, 2002   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Christabel Pankhurst was arguably the most influential member of her famous family in the struggle to win the vote for women in the years before the First World War.
Part of the reason for this may be that, in the years after women's suffrage had been achieved in 1918, she turned her energies to Christian fundamentalism and carved out a new career as a writer of best-selling evangelical books and as a high-profile speaker on the fundamentalist preaching circuit, particularly in the United States.
He thus offers both a highly original contribution to Christabel Pankhurst's biography and also a fascinating commentary on the relationship between fundamentalism and feminism.
