Throughout history the poetic muse has tended to be (a passive)
female and the poet male. This dynamic caused problems for late
Victorian and twentieth-century women poets; how could the muse be
reclaimed and moved on from the passive role of old? Parker looks
at fin-de-siecle and modernist lyric poets to investigate how they
overcame these challenges and identifies three key strategies: the
reconfiguring of the muse as a contemporary instead of a
historical/mythological figure; the muse as a male figure; and an
interchangeable poet/muse relationship, granting agency to both.
