Through her selection of fourteen essays, Tess Cosslett charts
the rediscovery by feminist critics of the Victorian Women Poets
such as Emily Bronte, Elizabeth Barrett Browning and Christina
Rossetti, and the subsequent developments as critics use a range of
modern theoretical approaches to understand and promote the work of
these non-canonical and marginalised poets.
While the essays chosen for this volume focus on these three major
figures, work is also included on less well-known poets who have
only recently been brought into critical prominence. The
introduction clarifies for the reader the themes, problems and
preoccupations that inform the criticism and provides a useful
guide to the debates surrounding poetry and feminism, investigating
such questions as, how feminist are these poems, and does a women s
tradition really exist? The advantages and disadvantages of
applying different critical approaches, such as psychoanalytic and
historicist, to the understanding of this period and genre are also
fully explored.
