'Michael Field' (1884???1914) was the pseudonym of two women, the
aunt and niece Katharine Bradley and Edith Cooper, who lived and
wrote together as 'lovers'. The large oeuvre contains poems,
dramas, and a vast diary. Marion Thain recounts the development of
a fascinating and idiosyncratic poetic persona that, she argues,
itself became a self-reflexive study in aestheticism. The
constructed life and work of 'Michael Field' is used here to deepen
and complicate our understanding of many of the most distinctive
aesthetic debates of the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth
centuries; a process unified by the recurring engagement with
theories of time and history that structures this book. This
analysis of poetry, aestheticism and the fin de si??cle, through
the performance of 'Michael Field', has implications that reach far
beyond an understanding of one poet's work. Scholars of both
Victorian and modernist literature will learn much from this
innovative and compelling study.
