This is the first volume to focus on women poets of this era and to consider how their historical reception challenges current conceptions of Romanticism. With a broad, revisionist view, the essays examine the poetry these women produced, what the poets thought about themselves and their place in the contemporary literary scene, and what the recovery of their works says about current and past Notes Print version record Subject English poetry -- 19th century -- History and criticism English poetry -- Women authors -- History and criticism Feminism and literature -- Great Britain -- History -- 19th century Women and literature -- Great Britain -- History -- 19th century Feminist poetry, English -- History and criticism Romanticism -- Great Britain Canon (Literature) POETRY -- English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh.
