Michael Field, the poetic identity created by Katharine Bradley
(1846-1914) and her niece Edith Cooper (1862-1913), ceaselessly
experimented with forms of identity and forms of literary
expression. The Forms of Michael Field argues that their modes of
self-creation are analogous to their poetic creations, and that
exploring them in tandem is the best way to understand Michael
Field's cultural and literary importance. Michael Field deploys a
different form in each volume of their lyric poetry: translations
of Sappho, ekphrasis, songs, sonnets, and devotional verse. They
also appropriate and revise the dramatic genres of verse tragedy
and the masque. Each of these experiments in form enable Michael
Field to differently address the cultural questions that beset
late-Victorian women writers. Drawing on the insights of new lyric
studies and new formalism, this book analyzes Michael Field's
continual quest for the aesthetic forms that best express their
evolving ideas about identity and sexuality, gender and sacrifice,
lyric voice and authority.
