Nineteenth-Century Women Poets - An Oxford Anthology (Hardcover)

Beginning with Anna Laetitia Barbauld's petition to William
Wilberforce and ending with the myth-making Irish writers of the
Celtic revival, this major new anthology brings to light diverse
female traditions that have, for years, remained in obscurity.
While the editors showcase a host of female writers well-known in
their day--Felicia Hemans, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, and
Christina Rossetti--they widen the focus to less familiar works by
working-class, colonial, and political writers.
The anthology's chronological progression highlights the
development of women's verse from the late Romantic period through
the Victorian fin-de-siecle. The editors examine the political
formations and cultural groupings to which the women belonged,
along with the structures which made the development of their work
possible: in particular, the numerous minority journals which
allowed them a coherent voice. They consider common preoccupations
with marriage, slavery, military conflict, national identity, and
religious and sexual discourses, and reveal how styles and genres
changed across the century. The anthology draws on first editions
for texts wherever possible, retaining the spelling and punctuation
of the originals for a faithful representation."
