This review is from: Records of Woman (Revolution & Romanticism, 1789-1834) (Hardcover)

This is a must-read for anyone interested in nineteenth-century British poetry. Felicia Hemans has been neglected for all too long, for she was the second most popular poet of the nineteenth-century in England--ahead of the likes of Wordsworth, Coleridge, and Tennyson. Her poetry supported herself and her sons. Scholars are just beginning to tap this rich source of literary history and discuss what Hemans' work means to our notions of Romanticism and Victorianism. Forthcoming from Broadview Press is a volume of her selected poems, and a volume of critical essays on Hemans is in progress. For now, this hardback volume is the best available introduction to Hemans work, especially her lyric poems that address the place of women in culture
