Women's Poetry of the 1930s: A Critical Anthology (eBook, ePUB)

Redaktion: Dowson, Jane

Produktbeschreibung

"Women's Poetry of the 1930s" is a comprehensive and beautifully edited collection of poems. While much has been written about the so-called "Auden generation," very little attention has been paid to women's poetry from this era of rapidly changing gender roles, social values and world politics. Jane Dowson redresses the balance by gathering together richly varied poems by such women as Valentine Ackland, Stevie Smith, Anne Ridler, E.J. Scovell, Edith Sitwell, and Sylvia Townsend Warner. Many of the poems included were previously out-of-print, uncollected or simply neglected. "Women's Poetry of the 1930s" provides an essential framework to the poems with an extensive critical introduction and individual biographies of each poet. This unique anthology sheds new light on women's place in this era of literary history and demands a reassessment of our understanding of twentieth-century poetry.
