Cynthia Scheinberg examines Anglo-Jewish (Grace Aguilar and Amy Levy) and Christian (Elizabeth Barrett Browning and Christina Rossetti) women poets, and argues that there are important connections between the discourses of nineteenth-century poetry, gender and religious identity. Further, Scheinberg argues that Jewish and Christian women poets had a special interest in Jewish discourse; calling on images from Judaism and the Hebrew Scriptures, their poetry created complex arguments about the relationships between Jewish and female artistic identity. She suggests that Jewish and Christian women used poetry as a site for creative and original theological interpretation, and that they entered into dialogue through their poetry about their own and each other's religious and artistic identities. This book's interdisciplinary methodology calls on poetics, religious studies, feminist literary criticism, and little read Anglo-Jewish primary sources.Cambridge studies in nineteenth-century literature and culture ;35.Religious poetry, EnglishHistory and criticismChristianity and literatureEnglandHistory19th centuryWomen and literatureEnglandHistory19th centuryEnglish poetryJewish authorsHistory and criticismEnglish poetryWomen authorsHistory and criticismEnglish poetry19th centuryHistory and criticismChristian poetry, English19th centuryHistory and criticismJewish womenGreat BritainIntellectual lifeJewish poetryHistory and criticismJudaism and literatureEnglandJews in literatureReligious poetry, EnglishHistory and criticism.Christianity and literatureHistoryWomen and literatureHistoryEnglish poetryJewish authorsHistory and criticism.English poetryWomen authorsHistory and criticism.English poetryHistory and criticism.Christian poetry, EnglishHistory and criticism.Jewish womenIntellectual life.Jewish poetryHistory and criticism.Judaism and literatureJews in literature.821/.809382Scheinberg Cynthia1650835MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910829181303321Women's poetry and religion in Victorian England4000441UNINA
