Mary Coleridge – författare

Clearly suggesting the influence of poets such as Robert Browning, Emily Bronte and Christina Rossetti, and paralleling the techniques of more modern poets such as Thomas Hardy, Charlotte Mew and D.H. Lawrence, the poems of Mary Coleridge (1861-1907) have much to tell us about the shifting nature of poetry and poetics in the Victorian fin-de-siecle and early twentieth century and they certainly deserve to be more widely known than they currently are. This is the first single volume of Mary Coleridge's poetry to be published for over fifty years. It includes ninety of her most compelling pieces along with explanatory notes and a substantial introduction which places the poems in their cultural and intellectual contexts.
