Writing the body/Anne Sexton. 3. Imperialist designs and gender wars/Margaret Atwood. 4. Rejecting the father/Stevie Smith. 5. The many faces of desire/Kamala Das. 6. Poetry in times of terror/Anna Akhmatova. Afterword. Bibliography. The present book attempts a survey of some of the important themes and ideas that emerge in womens poetry of the twentieth century. Beginning with the contribution of nineteenth century poets like Elizabeth Barrett Browning Emily Dickinson and Christina Rossetti exploring the manner in which they paved the way for later poets it moves on to the work of women poets from different geographical locales highlighting how the predominant concerns remain more or less the same no matter where the speaking voice is located. A close study of the works of five major women writers Anne Sexton Margaret Atwood Sylvia Plath Kamala Das Anna Akhmatova reveals that in each individual poet the effort is to focus on one main theme which becomes representative of a larger concern with the position of women viewed against diverse social and cultural backgrounds. The quest remains one in search of identity examining a womans plight in a patriarchal society moving towards self realization and fulfillment. It is such a journey that is charted in poetry written by women in the twentieth century. (jacket) 120 pp. …
