Beskrivning

The New Woman sought vast improvements in Victorian culture that would enlarge educational, professional, and domestic opportunities. While novels about the iconoclastic New Woman have garnered much interest in recent decades, poetry from the cultural and literary figure has received considerably less attention.

“Poetry of the New Woman: Public Concerns, Private Matters offers readings of a wide range of verses from poets ... . Professor Murphy concludes by stating her hope that this work will lead others to recover forgotten works, efforts which 'can only enhance and enrich the study of Victorian poetry' … . I wholeheartedly agree ... .” (F. Elizabeth Gray, Victorian Studies, Vol. 66 (4), 2024) “Murphy’s volume deals with an impressive range of poets and addresses an array of different forms and themes. Some of these poets are under-discussed and such detailed analysis is therefore greatly welcome, as in the case of Southern. ... The volume succeeds as a useful supplement to Hughes’s New Woman Poets: An Anthology ... .” (Sarah Parker, Women_s Writing, November 14, 2023)
