Feb 12 2009 - Romantic-Era Women Poets and the Anxiety of Impermanence

Author of numerous books and articles on British women poets, Dr. Behrendt will speak about Romantic-era women poets who write about (and sometimes to) other women poets about the consequences for themselves (and for women generally) when they opt for professional careers as writers. Among the poets discussed, Felicia Hemans, Letitia Elizabeth Landon, Charlotte Smith, and Mary Robinson will emerge as significant figures in the development of a Romantic aesthetic.
