Felicia Hemans : Selected Poems, Prose and Letters, Paperback / softback Book

Felicia Hemans : Selected Poems, Prose and Letters Paperback / softback

Edited by Gary Kelly

Part of the Broadview Editions series

Paperback / softback

Description

Felicia Hemans was the most widely read woman poet in the nineteenth-century English-speaking world.

Broadview’s edition shows why she was one of the few standard poets to be found in middle-class homes on both sides of the Atlantic, despite being routinely disparaged as a “merely” feminine poet.

Included here is poetry representative of her entire career, from often-anthologized works, such as “The Homes of England” and “Casabianca,” to several long poems in their entirety, such as “The Forest Sanctuary.” Also included are selections of her prose and letters, a comprehensive introduction, and selections of views and reviews showing her changing and controversial place in culture into the twentieth century.

All selections are edited, annotated, and introduced.
