About this product
Product Information
Who were the women poets of the eighteenth century? More than a hundred are represented in this anthology, yet only few have hitherto featured in conventional surveys and anthologies of eighteenth-century verse. Unlike the women who wrote fiction, the vast majority of those who wrote verse have been ignored and forgotten since their own day. Yet they speak with vigour and immediacy, in a range of moods from the resentful and melancholic to the humorous and exuberant; about the world they lived in and their experience of life in town and country, of love and marriage. Nor were they all from one social class: as the biographical headnotes reveal, women at all levels of society, washerwomen and duchesses, both wrote and found their way into print. Usually most at ease writing in informal and unpretentious verse, the women poets grew in confidence during the century, writing eventually in a great variety of poetic forms and on public as well as private topics. The writers in this wide-ranging and unpredictable anthology open a new perspective on their age, and provide the grounds for a reassessment of a neglected aspect of its literature.Roger Lonsdale edited the New Oxford Book of Eighteenth-Century Verse.

Reviews
'This new anthology should disturb many literary preconceptions with its forceful and charming discoveries.'Independent, 'not just a marvellous piece of scholarship but as richly entertaining and original a book as I have come across for some time'Independent, 'an unpredictable anthology which is hard to put down once you open it.Over 500 meaty pages revive a hundred or so women poets and poetic women,washerwomen, duchesses, obedient wives and wayward wenches, who have been lostto literature for 200 years. The useful and illuminating introduction gives anunusual variety of contemporary attitudes to women.'Oxford Today, 'a revelation of talent, wit and anger from unknown writers who often seemmore alive than our contemporaries'Claire Tomalin, Observer, 'Not only is there variety, there are also poets that this reviewer hadnever heard of, and there are discoveries.'Malcolm Rutherford, Financial Times, 'an unpredictable anthology which is hard to put down once you open it. Over 500 meaty pages revive a hundred or so women poets and poetic women, washerwomen, duchesses, obedient wives and wayward wenches, who have been lost to literature for 200 years. The useful and illuminating introductiongives an unusual variety of contemporary attitudes to women.' Oxford Today, 'a delight to read ... The selections are carefully balanced ... This is abrilliant and original anthology and, despite its editor's occasional demurs,makes a major contribution to feminist literary studies.'Julia Briggs, The Times, 'This new anthology should disturb many literary preconceptions with itsforceful and charming discoveries.'Independent, 'Not only is there variety, there are also poets that this reviewer had never heard of, and there are discoveries.'Malcolm Rutherford, Financial Times, 'a revelation of talent, wit and anger from unknown writers who often seem more alive than our contemporaries'Claire Tomalin, Observer, 'This sparkling collection of more than 100 witty women in the great age of wit combines the well-known with the strangely neglected.' Independent on Sunday, 'a delight to read ... The selections are carefully balanced ... This is a brilliant and original anthology and, despite its editor's occasional demurs, makes a major contribution to feminist literary studies.'Julia Briggs, The Times, a delight to read, an almost entirely unfamiliar collection of poems, commenting on a wide range of human feelings and experience with outstanding wit, humour and honesty, 'This sparkling collection of more than 100 witty women in the great ageof wit combines the well-known with the strangely neglected.'Independent on Sunday, Lonsdale has resurrected more than a hundred witty women and set them glistening and pulsing with life and spirits before us., 'not just a marvellous piece of scholarship but as richly entertaining and original a book as I have come across for some time. Out of the dust of the Bodleian Dr Lonsdale has resurrected more than a hundred witty women and set them glistening and pulsing with life and spirits before us; andthrough their fresh and often subversive eyes, the Augustan age seems much closer than it did ... Feminists will want to thank Lonsdale for restoring Mrs Browning's poetic ancestors, but not feminists alone. Historians will find rich material, and so will the general reader prepared to browse andsurrender to the many different idioms, rhythms and personalities revealed here ... The book has more that one useful index, notes and an informative introduction.'Claire Tomalin, The Independent, 'not just a marvellous piece of scholarship but as richly entertaining andoriginal a book as I have come across for some time'Independent, 'not just a marvellous piece of scholarship but as richly entertaining and original a book as I have come across for some time.

Independent on Sunday'a rich array of neglected talent ... Dr Lonsdale's scholarship has uncovered a rich seam in our poetic inheritance'Andrew Swarbrick, Oxford Times'He has unearthed a rich array of neglected talent ... The volume as a whole affords more insight into the lives of eighteenth-century women than any number of historical surveys and Dr Lonsdale's scholarship has uncovered a rich seam in our poetic inheritance.'Andrew Swarbrick, Oxford Times'Lonsdale refrains from evaluative commentary, and uses his introduction instead to offer a highly informative and lucid account of the historical background to the poems. This, combined with his admirable biographical headnotes, and the additionally instructive endnotes, provides a substantial context in which to read the poems. That so much research and scholarship is presented so modestly is a further tribute to Lonsdale's achievement. He has hereproduced another major anthology.'Paul Clayton, Hertford College, Oxford, Notes & Queries,Vol.235, No.4, December 1990'This year I discovered Roger Lonsdale's collection ... which I read with fascination and increasing joy'Times Educational Supplement (1992)
