Feminism and Poetry: Language, Experience, Identity in Women's Writing

By Janet Montefiore

Book Overview

Women's poetry has been frequently undervalued, misread or simply ignored. Even now there is a tendency to see the woman poet as a slight and freakish phenomenon compared with her substantial sister the novelist, let alone her massive and weighty poetic grandfathers. But as Jan Montefiore demonstrates in this book, the range, scope and variety of women's poetry, past and present, is thoroughly impressive.
