S. Bevington: Seeking a Harmonious Relationship."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"--Provided by publisher.Ecofeminism in literatureEnglish poetryWomen authorsHistory and criticismEnglish poetry19th centuryHistory and criticismEcofeminism in literature.English poetryWomen authorsHistory and criticism.English poetryHistory and criticism.821.8099287Murphy Patricia1951-1469099MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910793326503321Reconceiving nature3680522UNINA
