Romanticism and women poets opening the doors of reception

Linkin, Harriet Kramer, 1956- (Added Author). Behrendt, Stephen C., 1947- (Added Author).

Summary: One of the most exciting developments in Romantic studies in the past decade has been the rediscovery and repositioning of women poets as vital and influential members of the Romantic literary community. This is the first volume to focus on women poets of this era and to consider how their historical reception challenges current conceptions of Romanticism. With a broad, revisionist view, the essays examine the poetry these women produced, what the poets thought about themselves and their place in the contemporary literary scene, and what the recovery of their works says about current and past.
