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 best-selling authors of the 19th century, and Baillie was the foremost playwright of her time. In this anthology, Paula R. Feldman introduces modern readers to the range and diversity of women's poetic expression, making available many texts by women poets of the Romantic era. Feldman provides detailed introductions for each of the 62 poets, chronicling their lives, poetic careers, and critical reputations. This volume not only documents the richness of their literary contributions but also seeks to change our thinking about the poetry of the English Romantic period.
