There has been a huge revival of interest in Victorian women's
poetry in the last ten years, and it has led to a major
reconfiguration of the English poetic landscape of the nineteenth
century. This title offers a key selection of poems by 13 Victorian
women poets from Christina Rosetti and Felicia Hemans to the witty,
iconoclastic May Kendall. The book starts with a substantial
general Introduction which places the work of the poets into a
context both historical (that of the poems' production) and modern
(that of their past and present reception). Each poet's work is
introduced by an expansive headnote which tells the story of her
life and writing career. The poems all have full explanatory notes
to help readers unfamiliar with the period. A Bibliography lists
general sources as well as useful further readings. Written in an
engaging and accessible manner, the extensive annotations
throughout Victorian Women Poets ensure that this fascinating
poetry is enjoyable for undergraduate and non-specialist readers.
