This academic Book explores the significant yet often overlooked contributions of British women poets during the Romantic period. It examines how these women engaged in public discourse on crucial social, political, and economic issues, often facing resistance from a male-dominated literary establishment. The text analyzes the strategies employed by women poets to navigate this challenging landscape, including self-publication and strategic use of rhetoric and sentimentalism. Furthermore, the analysis extends to the impact of war and empire on their work and how their poems reflect broader cultural and political contexts in Britain, Scotland, and Ireland. The study ultimately advocates for a reevaluation of the Romantic literary canon to include the voices and perspectives of these previously marginalized women writers.
