Romantic-Era Irish Women Poets in English

Unknown Author

4.9/5 (10466 ratings)

Description:This book offers a representative sampling of the still mostly unknown poetry by Romantic-era Irish women. It represents most of the period's active poets by multiple (rather than few) works, demonstrating the diversity and the subject range of these four dozen or so poets over the 50-year period. Although several of them appear (briefly) in Andrew Carpenter's Verse in English from Eighteenth-Century Ireland, no comparable or competing collection exists. Anthologies of "British" poetry by Romantic-era women devote scant space to these poets, with the notable exception of Mary Tighe, despite their contemporary activity (and activism). My anthology suggests ways to situate these poets and their work within the broader historical, cultural and literary contexts of Irish writing, Romanticism, and nationalism, in all of which areas matters of gender and women's cultural status remain important.The book is important to several areas of literary and cultural study:1. Irish literature - especially poetry; 2. Women's writing; 3. Romanticism, Romantics studies, and Irish Romanticism; 4. Cultural history, including women's and gender studies. This substantial repository of these authors' works includes resources to enable students, scholars, cultural historian and "general readers" to locate and consult the complete published collections from which my samples are taken.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
