In the age of commercial distribution, the nonequivalence of personal feeling and printed product is sometimes rendered bitterly, but sometimes that nonequivalence evokes the opulence of artifice. "Colour'd Shadows" is a sequence of arguments about such relationships of material form and material exchange with literary meaning, proceeding from specific examples in the writings and careers of women writers and various publishing genres, including Victorian periodicals and literary annuals Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 177-192) and index Notes Print version record Subject English poetry -- Women authors -- History and criticism Women -- Books and reading -- Great Britain -- History -- 19th century Literature publishing -- Great Britain -- History -- 19th century Women and literature -- Great Britain -- History -- 19th century Books and reading -- Great Britain -- History -- 19th century Women -- Great Britain -- Intellectual life -- 19th century English poetry -- 19th century -- History and criticism Printing -- Great Britain -- History -- 19th century Literary studies: c 1800 to c 1900.
