It is at last being recognized that, contrary to common
understanding, there were working-class women poets in the
nineteenth century. Yet this growing awareness is rarely
accompanied by a sustained engagement with their poetry.
Painstaking research into the life and work of an author remains
constricted to the Brownings and Rossettis of both sexes. The
present study breaks with this academic habit. It is the first
critical biography of the Glaswegian writer who signed her poems as
'The Factory Girl'. It is an essay in recovery and exploration,
situating Ellen Johnston at the intersection of gender, class and
nation. It documents her range of subjects, styles and voices. The
book is concluded by a selection of Ellen Johnston's verse.
