Description
Michael Field: The Poet by Katherine Bradley and Edith Cooper is a collection of poetry and personal writings from two women who defied convention to live and create together. This Broadview Edition brings together selections from their published works, alongside previously unpublished letters and diaries that offer a unique insight into their lives and work. The authors' poetry has recently gained recognition for its arresting beauty and depth, while their engagement with other writers places them at the heart of fin de siècle literary culture. The edition includes a critical introduction, bibliography, and selection of contemporary reviews to provide context and background to their remarkable story. This book is an important contribution to our understanding of these two pioneering women, whose lives and work continue to inspire and fascinate readers today.
