Download or read book Working Class Women Poets in Victorian Britain written by Florence S. Boos and published by Broadview Press. This book was released on 2008-06-12 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though working-class women in the nineteenth century included many accomplished and prolific poets, their work has often been neglected by critics and readers in favour of comparable work by men. Questioning the assumption that few poems by working-class women had survived, Florence Boos set out to discover supposedly lost works in libraries, private collections, and archives. Her years of research resulted in this anthology. Working-Class Women Poets in Victorian Britain features poetry from a variety of women, including an itinerant weaver, a rural midwife, a factory worker protesting industrialization, and a blind Scottish poet who wrote in both the Scots dialect and English. In addition to biographical information and contemporary reviews of the poets’ work, the anthology also includes several photographs of the poets, their environment, and the journals in which their poems appeared.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Biblical Women God made through the ages, Encompasses both bad and good. Their role in uplifting and sifting the sages, Would help or destroy as they could. For knowledge to help or avoid God's commands, They would show just how needful they were. Their counterpart men, whom they served with remands, Kept the distance between him and her. How sparsely they're mentioned, -important are few, They're intelligence thought to be less. They're used and abused. -They're put down to pursue Having children and cleaning their mess. This satire of fire that has seared in man's soul, For the women God gave him to love, To nourish and cherish, to freshen, console, He'd be blest by his quest for Above. From Eve to New Testament helpers in Christ, God has shown this last vessel He's made, To be without doubt the preferred choice, enticed By His promise to love with His aid. This love God awarded to women to give, Is the first of its kind: human love.

Download or read book Women s Poetry and Religion in Victorian England written by Cynthia Scheinberg and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2002-05-30 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Victorian women poets lived in a time when religion was a vital aspect of their identities. Cynthia Scheinberg examines Anglo-Jewish (Grace Aguilar and Amy Levy) and Christian (Elizabeth Barrett Browning and Christina Rossetti) women poets, and argues that there are important connections between the discourses of nineteenth-century poetry, gender and religious identity. Further, Scheinberg argues that Jewish and Christian women poets had a special interest in Jewish discourse; calling on images from Judaism and the Hebrew Scriptures, their poetry created complex arguments about the relationships between Jewish and female artistic identity. She suggests that Jewish and Christian women used poetry as a site for creative and original theological interpretation, and that they entered into dialogue through their poetry about their own and each other's religious and artistic identities. This book's interdisciplinary methodology calls on poetics, religious studies, feminist literary criticism, and little read Anglo-Jewish primary sources.

Download or read book On Biblical Poetry written by F.W. Dobbs-Allsopp and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2015-08-26 with total page 620 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On Biblical Poetry takes a fresh look at the nature of biblical Hebrew poetry beyond its currently best-known feature, parallelism. F.W. Dobbs-Allsopp argues that biblical poetry is in most respects just like any other verse tradition, and therefore biblical poems should be read and interpreted like other poems, using the same critical tools and with the same kinds of guiding assumptions in place. He offers a series of programmatic essays on major facets of biblical verse, each aspiring to alter currently regnant conceptualizations in the field and to show that attention to aspects of prosody--rhythm, lineation, and the like--allied with close reading can yield interesting, valuable, and even pleasurable interpretations. What distinguishes the verse of the Bible, says Dobbs-Allsopp, is its historicity and cultural specificity, those peculiar encrustations and encumbrances that typify all human artifacts. Both the literary and the historical, then, are in view throughout. The concluding essay elaborates a close reading of Psalm 133. This chapter enacts the final movement to the set of literary and historical arguments mounted throughout the volume--an example of the holistic staging which, Dobbs-Allsopp argues, is much needed in the field of Biblical Studies.
