In Plain Sight explores how the poetry of nineteenth-century
American women that was once so visible within American culture
could have, with the exception of that by Emily Dickinson, so
thoroughly disappeared from literary history. By investigating
erasure not merely as something that was done to these women but as
the result of the conventions that once made the circulation of
their poetry possible in the first place, this volume offers the
first book-length analysis of the conventions of nineteenth-century
American women's poetry. While each of the chapters focuses on a
specific convention, taken together they tell the complicated story
of nineteenth-century American women's poetry, tracing the spaces
within literary culture where it lived and thrived, the spaces from
which it was always in the process of vanishing. By reclaiming
these conventions as a constitutive part of nineteenth-century
American women's poetry, this book asks readers to take seriously
the work these women produced and the role their work might play in
remapping American literary history.
