This acclaimed book recovers and explores an important tradition of
19th-century women's poetry - from Felicia Hemans to Charlotte Mew.
Angela Leighton not only discussed the work o many neglected poets
(including Augusta Webster and `Michael Field'), she also charts
the development of women's poetry form the sentimentalism of Hemans
and L.E.L. (Letitia Elizabeth Landon)) to the various strategies of
self-displacement employed by the best of the Victorians,
especially Elizabeth Browning and Christina Rossetti. The work
combines biographical material with theoretical readings of the
poems, and offers new reinterpretations of some original and
intriguing literature. Much of this had been by passed or forgotten
before Angela Leighton's work. â It is impressive in scope, is
highly original in its aims, and is established as the chief
critical work in its field.
