Winged Words: An Anthology of Victorian Women's Poetry and VerseCatherine W. Reilly Enitharmon, 1994 - 174 pages Victorian women poets have been constantly overshadowed by their male counterparts, but now Catherine Reilly has redressed the balance with this meticulously researched and richly varied anthology of poems by sixty-eight Victorian women. Alongside such famous names as Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Emily Brontė and Christina Rossetti are dozens of fine but unfamiliar poets whose work touches on birth and death, love and friendship, family relationships, work and leisure, peace and war, nature and the seasons, the country and the town. |
