Description

The great unshackling of women's voices in poetry has one of its beginnings right here.

These sad beautiful poems are full of rendings and breakings and burnings.' So writes Eavan Boland in her introduction to her selection of poems of Charlotte Mew (1868-1928).

Identifying in Mew the startling, powerful voice that first made possible a new kind of poetry, free of Victorian expectations of a 'poetess', Boland has selected the poems that have meant most to her as a reader and a writer.

The dialogue between the two poets establishes Mew's place in the continuing dialogue of women's writing.
