This book recovers and explores an important tradition of
nineteenth-century women's poetry from Felicia Hemans to Charlotte
Mew. Angela Leighton not only discusses the work of neglected poets
such as Augusta Webster and "Michael Field," but also charts the
development of women's poetry from 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 Barrett Browning and Christina Rossetti.
Combining biographical material with theoretical readings of the
poems, Angela Leighton offers a reinterpretation not only of some
original and intriguing literature, but also of the very canon of
Victorian poetry. Impressive in scope and highly original in its
aims, this study will serve as the main critical work in this area
for many years to come.
