This book recovers and explores an important tradition of 19th century women's poetry from Felicia Hemans to Charlotte Mew. Angela Leighton not only discusses the work of neglected poets such as Augusta Webster and "Michael Field", but also charts the development of women's poetry from the sentimentalism of Hemans and the poet L.E.L.
