Reconceiving Nature : Ecofeminism in Late Victorian Women’s Poetry Hardback
by Patricia Murphy
Hardback
Description
Glimmerings of ecofeminist theory that would emerge a century later can be detected in women's poetry of the later Victorian period.
Patricia Murphy examines the work of six “proto-ecofeminist†poets - Augusta Webster, Mathilde Blind, Michael Field, Alice Meynell, Constance Naden, and L.
S. Bevington - who contested the exploitation of the natural world.
Challenging prevalent assumptions that nature is inferior, rightly subordinated, and deservedly manipulated, these poets instead “reconstructed†nature.
