\"\"The Cambridge Companion to Victorian Women\u2019s Poetry<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Edited by Linda K. Hughes<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Victorian period has a strong tradition of poetry written by women. In this Companion, leading scholars deliver accessible and cutting-edge essays that situate Victorian women\u2019s poetry in its relation to print culture, diverse identities, and aesthetic and cultural issues. The book is inclusive in method, demonstrating, for example, the benefits of both distant and close reading approaches, and featuring major figures like Elizabeth Barrett Browning and Christina Rossetti and over one hundred poets altogether. Thematically arranged, the chapters deliver studies on a comprehensive array of subjects that address women\u2019s poetry in its manifold forms and investigate its global context. Essays shed light on children\u2019s poetry, domestic relations, sexualities, and stylistic artifice and conclude by looking at how women poets placed their published poems and how we can \u2018place\u2019 Victorian women poets today.<\/p>\n
