Book Description
Dennis Low's re-evaluation of the Lake Poets as mentors begins with the controversial premise that Robert Southey was one of the nineteenth-century's greatest champions of women's writing. Together with Wordsworth and Coleridge, Low argues, Southey tried to end what he perceived to be the cultural decline of literature by nurturing the creative talents of many exceptional women writers. Drawing on 3,000 unpublished manuscripts in England, Scotland and the United States, Low examines the lives and works of four of the Lake Poets' literary protégées: Caroline Bowles, Maria Gowen Brooks, Sara Coleridge and Maria Jane Jewsbury. Though diverse in terms of their literary production, these women were united in their defiant efforts to write against an increasingly stagnant cultural milieu and their negotiation, wholeheartedly encouraged by their mentors, of contemporary publishing mores. This scrupulously researched book is a valuable contribution to the study of little-known women writers and to our understanding of the literary and publishing environment of Britain in the 1820s and 1830s.

Publisher: Thousand Fields
ISBN: 9781473330603
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 262
Book Description
This book comprises a collection of essays written by Thomas De Quincey. Within them, he furnished some of the earliest, most authentic, and most enlightening accounts of the Lake Poets-a group of poets that included Robert Southey, William Wordsworth, and Samuel Taylor Coleridge. "Recollections of the Lakes and the Lake Poets" is a fascinating read and is highly recommended for those with an interest in the Romantic movement. Contents include: "Early Memorials of Grasmere," "Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Born 1772; Died 1834," "William Wordsworth. Born 7th April 1770; Died 23rd April 1850. Buried in the Green Churchyard of Grasmere, between a Yew-tree of his own planting and an Aged Thorn-tree," and "Robert Southey. Born 12th August 1774; Died 21st March 1843. Buried in the Quiet Churchyard of Crosswaite, near Keswick.." Thomas Penson De Quincey (1785 - 1859) was an English essayist most famous for his book "Confessions of an English Opium-Eater" (1821). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
