Reviews
Publisher Synopsis
Will inevitably shape interpretation and mark out a canon... Feldman is... [a] disciplined, lucid, and meticulous editor... [Her] comprehensive collection enables the reader to see what working-class poets such as Janet Little and Christian Milne were writing, and to sample such sports as the Countess of Blessington's satire on sentiment... and Catherine Maria Fanshawe's parody of Wordsworth's combination of pantheism and literalism. -- Isobel Armstrong Times Literary Supplement A singular resource providing information found in no other reference work... This anthology of works by 62 British women poets writing between 1770 and 1840... makes it clear that Romantic poetry encompasses much more than Wordsworth, Coleridge, Byron, Shelley, and Keats. Library Journal A wide-ranging selection of poems written by British women from all kinds of backgrounds and geographical locations... Detailed, scholarly headnotes... [provide] a clearer, more inflected understanding of this outstandingly prolific period in the history of women's writing. -- Lucy Newlyn Review of English Studies Read more...
