Selected Poems (Broadview Literary Texts): Portraits and Other Poems (Broadview Editions) - Softcover
Synopsis
Augusta Webster was very widely praised in her own time—Christina Rossetti thought her "by far the most formidable" woman poet. Her work has again come into favour, so much so that Isobel Armstrong and her co-editors of the influential anthology, Nineteenth-Century Women Poets, declare that "there can be no doubt that Augusta Webster ranks as one of the great Victorian poets." This collection is the first edition of Webster's poems since 1895. It is a selection of her best work, emphasizing her powerful dramatic monologues and including a substantial number of her lyrics. With an introduction and background documents that highlight the distinctiveness of her work, this edition will help to re-establish Augusta Webster as a major figure of nineteenth-century English literature.

Review
"Augusta Webster's powerful and witty, disarmingly casual essays incisively explore such topics as the creation of selfhood, the social constraints that mar women's happiness, and the struggle for women's rights. Reintroducing Webster's writings after a century of neglect, Christine Sutphin provides generous, well-chosen selections of both poetry and prose as well as an informative introduction and useful supplementary materials. Anyone interested in Victorian poetry, women's writing, or nineteenth-century feminism will appreciate this extremely interesting volume by an important Victorian writer." - Dorothy Mermin, Cornell University
Synopsis
Although Augusta Webster was widely praised in her own time, Webster''s poetry all but disappeared in the early 20th century. This collection brings together a selection of her best work including monologues, lyrics and sonnets.'
