This new title outlines the lives and works of three popular and
influential women poets of the nineteenth century: Felicia Hemans,
Dora Greenwell and Adelaide Anne Procter. All three sought to forge
a Christian and emotive poetics in order to educate and sensitise
their readership, offering a gentle and benevolent reading
experience grounded in interpersonal feeling and religious love.
This study investigates both the radical potential and possible
limits of such a project, one inflected by the poets' relationships
to feeling and religion, whether dissenting, Anglican, Methodist,
Evangelical or Roman Catholic. The study also seeks to situate the
poets in their historical and aesthetic moment, examining their
diverse interest in figures such as Schiller, Coleridge, Germaine
de Stael and Dickens. Underlying all three poets' work, however, is
the profound influence of Wordsworth, figured by them as a literary
as well as spiritual guide anchoring their explorations of
religion, feeling and poetry.
