Approaching the work of Romantic-era British women poets through
the lenses of public radicalism, war, and poetic form. This
compelling study recovers the lost lives and poems of British women
poets of the Romantic era. Stephen C. Behrendt reveals the range
and diversity of their writings, offering new perspectives on the
work of dozens of women whose poetry has long been ignored or
marginalized in traditional literary history. British Romanticism
was once thought of as a cultural movement defined by a small group
of male poets. This book grants women poets their proper place in
the literary tradition of the time. In an approach ripe for
classroom teaching, Behrendt first reviews the subject
thematically, exploring the ways in which the poems addressed both
public concerns and private experiences. He next examines the use
of particular genres, including the sonnet and various other long
and short forms. In the concluding chapters, Behrendt explores the
impact of national identity, providing the first extensive study of
Romantic-era poetry by women from Scotland and Ireland. In
recovering the lives and work of these women, Behrendt reveals
their active participation within the rich cultural community of
writers and readers throughout the British Isles. This study will
be a key resource for scholars, teachers, and students in British
literary studies, women's studies, and cultural history.
