Henry Austin Clapp delivered a Shakesperian lecture titled Beatrice A Study of Womanly Wit and Insight at the state Normal School. He described Much Ado About Nothing as highlighting social life and Beatrice as a refined woman at the center of splendid society.
A lecture contrasted Beatrice with Shakespearean heroines and Jane Austen to trace women’s wit and social roles. It noted Beatrice as sparkling and brilliant though not the highest order, Rosalind as more imaginative, and highlighted shifts in female representation from Shakespeare to early 20th century. The orator argued against a steady upward arc in women’s status, showing fluctuations across eras.
The discussion traces Elizabethan independence through Shakespeare and Jane Austen, imagining Beatrice as a modern type allied to Beatrice in tone. It notes the potential uplift if society housed such women, and analyzes Benedick and Beatrice's exchanges, including Beatrice's harsh wit seen as a sign of love within a tricky social dance.
