"The Devil holds the strings which move us!" (Charles Baudelaire, The Flowers of Evil, 1857.)Satan, Beelzebub, Lucifer... the Devil has many names and faces, all of which have always served artists as a source of inspiration. Often commissioned by religious leaders as images of fear or veneration, depending on the society, representations of the underworld served to instruct believers and lead them along the path of righteousness. For other artists, such as Hieronymus Bosch, they provided a means of denouncing the moral decrepitude of one's contemporaries. In the same way, literature dealing wit |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
"The nature poetry by six women writers in the later Victorian era compellingly challenges flawed cultural perceptions of the nonhuman world by surprisingly and deftly deploying an array of ecofeminist strategies. Through these techniques, the poets assailed conventional ideas that placed the natural world in a decidedly inferior position, supposedly suitable for exploitation and degradation. This study focuses primarily on the "eco" aspect of ecofeminism, examining in depth the poetic responses to Victorian estimations of the natural world and its marginalization. Grappling with critical ecofeminist matters, these poets--Augusta Webster, Mathilde Blind, Michael Field, Alice Meynell, Constance Naden, and L.S. Bevington--heightened awareness of and dispelled misconceptions about nature"-- |
