"The Female Homer provides a powerful research tool through its checklist of women's epic poems, and a vital starting point for investigations and new conversations in the field. For scholars in Comparative Literature and English Studies who are already at work on questions of women's epic, the recovery of women's texts, and the place of women's writings within traditionally masculine canons of literature, The Female Homer sketches and consolidates the field. Beyond these specialists, scholars in all fields of literary study, once they clear their initial shock at the existence of women's epic, will be engaged by the kinds of texts these women poets have produced. Beyond an academic audience, the wider reading public will find in this accessibly written volume a welcome introduction to an unknown range of texts and authors. This approach also makes it a suitable textbook for courses in epic, in --

Excerpt: ...her hair That lash'd and leapt on each place white and fair Of bosom or of arm, And through the blazing of the numberless And whirling jewelled fires of her dress, Her perfect face no passion could disarm Of its reposeful charm. Her head oft drooped as in some languid death Beneath brim tastes of joy, and her rich breath Heaved faintly from her breast; Her long eyes, opened fervently and wide, Did seem with endless rapture to abide In some fair trance through which the soul possest Love, ecstasy, and rest. But lo--while each man fixed his eyes on her, And was himself quite filled with the stir His heart did make within--The place was full of devils everywhere: They came in from the desert and the air; They came from all the palaces of sin, And each heart they were in: They lurked beneath the purples, and did crawl Or crouch in unseen corners of the hall, Among the brass and gold; They climbed the brazen pillars till they lined The chamber fair; and one went up behind The throne of Herod--fearful to behold---The Serpent king of old. Yea, too, before those blinded men there went Some even to Salome; and they lent Strange charms she did not shun. She stretched her hand forth, and inclined her ear; She knew those men would neither see nor hear-. A devil did support her head, and one Her steps' light fabric spun. O, then her voice with singing all unveiled, In no trained timid accents, straight assailed King Herod's open heart: The amorous supplication wove and wound Soft deadly sins about it; the words found Fair traitor thoughts there, --singing snakes did dart Their poison in each part. She sang, " 0 look on me, and look on Love: We three are here together, and above---What heaven may there be? None for thine heart...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Felicia Hemans (1793-1835), one of the most influential and widely-read poets of the nineteenth century, wrote Records of Woman in 1828 at the height of her long career. In the series, which includes nineteen poems about exemplary lives, Hemans explores what it means to be a woman, challenging traditional beliefs while at the same time reinforcing persistent stereotypes. Her work celebrates the lives, events, and imagined thoughts of unremembered women from different cultures and time periods whose deeds show nobility of spirit and inner strength. In her introduction, Paula Feldman examines how Hemans's poetry shaped and was shaped by nineteenth-century literary tastes, and she reconsiders the aesthetic value of Hemans's work and the current understanding of the nature of Romanticism.

Excerpt: ...with fond delay She linger'd on the threshold, heard the note Of her caged bird thro' trellis'd rose-leaves float, And fell upon her mother's neck, and wept, Whilst old remembrances, that long had slept, Gush'd o'er her soul, and many a vanish'd day, As in one picture traced, before her lay. But the farewell was said; and 6n the deep, When its breast heav'd in sunset's golden sleep, With a calm'd heart, young Madeline ere long Pour'd forth her own sweet solemn vesper-song, Breathing of home: thro' stillness heard afar, And duly rising with the first pale star, That voice was on the waters; till at last The sounding ocean-solitudes were pass'd, And the bright land was reach'd, the youthful world That glows along the West: the sails were furl'd In its clear sunshine, and the gentle bride Look'd on the home that promis'd hearts untried A bower of bliss to come.--Alas! we trace The map of our own paths, and long ere years With their dull steps the brilliant lines efface, On sweeps the storm, and blots them out with tears. That home was darken'd soon: the summer breeze Welcom'd with death the wanderers from the seas, Death unto one, and anguish how forlorn! To her, that widow'd in her marriage-morn, Sat in her voiceless dwelling, whence with him, Her bosom's first belov'd, her friend and guide, Joy had gone forth, and left the green earth dim, As from the sun shut out on every side, By the close veil of misery!--Oh! but ill, When with rich hopes o'erfraught, the young high heart / Bears its first blow!--it knows not yet the part Which life will teach--to suffer and be still, And with submissive love to count the flowers Which yet are spared, and thro' the future hours To send no busy dream!--She had not learn'd Of sorrow till that hour, and...
