Women, Poetry and the Voice of a Nation by Anne Varty
A pioneering study of women poets exploring the four laureate roles of the United Kingdom and Ireland.
"At once tracing the poets' careers and their self-inscription into exclusionary poetic traditions, Varty's timely book examines?their advances for literary and cultural democraciesIt deftly?details?how, individually and collectively, these women reconfigure national identities while destabilising nationalisms, and how they infiltrate school curricula when sceptical of educational policies." -Dr Jane Dowson, De Montfort University, author of Carol Ann Duffy: Poet for Our Times
