内容紹介
During the Romantic period, women such as Joanna Baillie, Anna Letitia Barbauld, Felicia Hemans, Letitia Elizabeth Landon, Mary Robinson, Anna Seward, Charlotte Smith, and Mary Tighe were among the most highly respected and widely read practitioners of the art of poetry. In fact, Hemans was one of the bestselling authors of the nineteenth century, and Baillie was the foremost playwright of her time. 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. Feldman provides detailed introductions for each of the sixty-two poets, chronicling their lives, poetic careers, and critical reputations. This groundbreaking volume not only documents the richness of their literary contributions but also changes our thinking about the poetry of the English Romantic period.
レビュー
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

Although their influence and even their existence has been largely unacknowledged by literary scholars and critics throughout most of the twentieth century, women poets were, as their contemporary John Hamilton Reynolds nervously acknowledged, a force to be reckoned with in early-nineteenth century Britain. 最初のページを読む

Wonderful, Informative

Forget the myth about women being subjugated into passive, quiet existences, in the past. There are more British women writers in these pages than you ever knew existed, and they write with elegance, aplomb, craft, style, and wit. Educated ladies, all. Most of them wrote while living a full life, having children, entertaining guests, participating in political and literary discussion groups, and, in short, contributing to the world in which they lived. The introduction to each author is enlightening and informative, and the poetry in many cases equal, in my opinion, to the better known writings of the male Romantic poets of the day. Perhaps the biggest take-away you'll get is that "lesser-known" does not mean lesser quality.

"The waves leap up, the wild wind blows"

Even at 850+ pages, this vast treasure trove of an anthology hardly exhausts the riches of British women's poetry from the Romantic era -- a remarkably fertile period that emphasized deep feeling, acknowledged the turmoil of darker & conflicted emotions, and sought transcendence & beauty in both Nature & the human psyche. Any stereotypes of meek, submissive women writing demure, insipid poetry are quickly dashed once you begin to explore these pages. There's intellectual rigor & philosophical depth to be found here, as well as passion & a yearning to break the bonds of everyday life. Yet there's also plenty of quietly sublime loveliness, sometimes shaded by fear or melancholy, and a sense of the tragic. Quite interestingly, there are several poems devoted to the poppy & the sweet, dreamy escape it provides through its opiates. Indeed, the theme of escape is a recurring one, with brooks overflowing their banks, birds winging into the heavens, violent storms & engulfing seas, seductive otherworldly spirits beckoning from the woods, and unruly longings that can no longer be denied.
Each poet is presented with a brief biography highlighting both her life & her work, while footnotes & end-notes are provided for further elucidation. There's such a wide range of material here that all readers will find poems that resonate strongly with them. I'm still making my way through this volume, and I've already made note of several poets whose work I want to explore further. For anyone who responds to the Romantic vision, this anthology is most highly recommended!

There is a lot of delightful and surprising poetry in this book, together with biographical sketches of the authors that convey a picture of British society in the period 1770-1840. It's the product of ground-breaking scholarship. It renews one's pleasure in reading poetry. The book is, in addition, the ideal size and shape for an anthology.
