内容説明
Caroline Bowles Southey is often considered an important 19th-century writer whose work deserves to be better known. Initially famous for her prose sketches, "Chapters on Churchyards", it is her poetry which best illustrates her gifts, with her major achievement being her blank verse autobiography "The Birth-day" (1836). Caroline Bowles's reputation was over-clouded by the circumstances of her marriage at the age of 52 to Poet Laureate Robert Southey. The author argues that if her achievement is judged from a wider angle than is offered by the focus on her identity as "second wife", she can not only be recognized as a poet of far greater merit than her husband, but can also be counted among the more influencial women writers who produced their best work at the threshold of the Victorian era. The present volume combines a bio-critical account of Caroline Bowles Southey's career with a general selection of her works, both poetry and prose, with the latter drawing attention to her talents as a letter-writer.
