F Elizabeth Gray

Christian and Lyric Tradition in Victorian Women's Poetry

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In this study, Gray examines the broadly neglected body of Victorian women's religious verse, showing how women of the period used an array of inventive literary strategies to construct and wield provocative forms of authority. Their deployment of biblical source, trope and genre transfigured Christian and lyric traditions.
