Download or read book Eighteenth Century Women Poets written by Moira Ferguson and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 1995-11-16 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the poems of three Englishwomen—washerwoman Mary Collier, middle-class feminist polemicist Mary Scott, Bristol milkwoman Ann Yearsley, and Scottish dairywoman from Ayrshire, Janet Little. It questions how national identity might have influenced gender and class affiliations, and, reciprocally, how gender might have determined a nationalist impulse, particularly as it played out during the revolutionary period (1770-1800) in which most of the texts were written.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Poets of Ayrshire: From the Fourteenth Century Till the Present Day, With Selections From Their Writings In no country of the world has the lyrical gift been more widely diffused than it has been in Scotland, and to no Shire of Scotland have its poets brought more glory and renown. That Ayrshire owes much of its poetical celebrity to Robert Burns cannot be gainsaid, but even if his writings were wholly eliminated, there still would remain much good work well worthy of preservation. For upwards of a hundred years "the Star of Robbie Burns" has shone with such brilliancy in the poetic firmament of Caledonia that all lesser lights have paled beneath its glance. This is unfortunate for the fame of the lesser luminaries of Scotland in general, and particularly so for the minor bards of Ayrshire. But there are indications that in the near future a larger share of popularity will be awarded such gifted poets as Alexander Montgomery, Alexander Smith, James Montgomery, and many others who have permanently enriched our Scottish minstrelsy. Love and labour, domestic joys and sorrows, are the themes to which by far the greater number of our Ayrshire poets have tuned their harp-strings, and for one piece of a romantic or heroic kind we have a dozen poems of the affections. In a certain sense this is to be regretted, and the hope is cherished that a greater number of our modern bards may yet turn their attention to themes such as were dear to the ballad-makers of old, since Ayrshire is a land peculiarly rich in historical associations which would furnish excellent material for compositions of this kind.
