British Women Poets of the 19th Century
A comprehensive anthology to give modern readers access to 48 exciting women who wrote and published poetry in the Romantic and Victorian periods. The works of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Christina Rossetti, and Emily Bronte have been collected and preserved, but most women poets of the age were passed over in favor of the major male talents. From the romanticism of Dorothy Wordsworth's odes to the political poems of Helen Maria Williams and Anna Barbauld to the satirical critiques of gender conventions in the poems by Jane Taylor and Charlotte Mew, this anthology restores the voices of these "lost" artists. Biographies accompany each selection.
A History of Twentieth-Century British Women's Poetry
Publisher Description
Women Poets of the English Civil War
This anthology brings together extensive selections of poetry by the live most prolific and prominent women poets of the English Civil War period: Anne Bradstreet, Hester Puller, Margaret Cavendish, Katherine Philips and Lucy Hutchinson. These poets participated in elite poetic culture at the highest level, writing elegies, panegyrics and epics; they were politically engaged; and their female authorship strategies were nuanced but clear, as they took diverse approaches to publication in manuscript and print. Their poetry is at the centre of discussion and debate about early modern women's poetry, but until now, substantial edited selections of their work have not been available in one place....

British Women Poets and the Romantic Writing Community
Approaching the work of Romantic-era British women poets through the lenses of public radicalism, war, and poetic form. This compelling study recovers the lost lives and poems of British women poets of the Romantic era. Stephen C. Behrendt reveals the range and diversity of their writings, offering new perspectives on the work of dozens of women whose poetry has long been ignored or marginalized in traditional literary history. British Romanticism was once thought of as a cultural movement defined by a small group of male poets. This book grants women poets their proper place in the literary tradition of the time. In an approach ripe for classroom teaching, Behrendt first reviews the subject...
British Women Poets of the Long Eighteenth Century
This anthology gathers 368 poems by 80 British women poets of the long eighteenth century. Few of these poems have been reprinted since originally published, and all are crucial to understanding fully the literary history of women writers. Paula R. Backscheider and Catherine E. Ingrassia demonstrate the enormous diversity of poetry produced during this time by organizing the poems in three broad and deliberately overlapping categories: by genre, establishing that women wrote in all of the forms that men did with equal mastery and creativity; by theme, offering a revisionary look at the range of topics these writers addressed, including war, ecology, friendship, religion, and the stages of li...
Poetry Off the Page
This study examines the performed poetry of Charlotte Mew, Anna Wickham, Edith Sitwell, Stevie Smith, Liz Lochhead, and Jackie Kay as an alternative radical tradition of British poetry, developed to convey women's experience. Through a historical treatment in which the poets are discussed in pairs, the chapters trace how these six women used a performative poetry to deal with difficulties regarding women's representation: from simply presenting difference in the case of Mew and Wickham, to deconstructing difference in the case of Sitwell and Smith, to avoiding the recapture of cultural imagery in the case of Lochhead and Kay. Laura Severin claims that twentieth-century British women poets ha...
Eighteenth-Century Women Poets and Their Poetry
Co-Winner, James Russell Lowell Prize, Modern Language Association This major study offers a broad view of the writing and careers of eighteenth-century women poets, casting new light on the ways in which poetry was read and enjoyed, on changing poetic tastes in British culture, and on the development of many major poetic genres and traditions. Rather than presenting a chronological survey, Paula R. Backscheider explores the forms in which women wrote and the uses to which they put those forms. Considering more than forty women in relation to canonical male writers of the same era, she concludes that women wrote in all of the genres that men did but often adapted, revised, and even created n...
