British women poets of the Romantic era : an anthology
1997
Book
In British Women Poets of the Romantic Era Paula R. Feldman introduces modern readers to the range and diversity of women's poetic expression, making available more texts by more women poets of the Romantic era than have ever been collected in a single book in the twentieth century. Here are sonnets, odes, elegies, satires, songs, pastorals, anti-pastorals, love lyrics, epistles, long narrative poems, ballads, riddles, and a portion of an epic. Working-class poets, such as Christian Milne and Isabel Pagan, take their place among aristocrats, such as Lady Byron and Carolina, Baroness Nairne. Reflecting the realities of women's careers, poems that circulated in song and manuscript, rather than as published books, are also present, along with poems by writers best known today for their novels, such as Jane Austen, Maria Edgeworth, and Ann Radcliffe.
