Sound the Deep WatersWomen's Romantic Poetry in the Victorian Age
Ed. Pamela Norris
This collection of verses by poets including Christina Rossetti, Emily Dickinson, George Eliot and Emily Brontë shows how the breadth of their interests defies the stereotype of the Victorian woman. The poems are paired with paintings by the Pre-Raphaelites, among them female artists such as Evelyn de Morgan and Kate Bunce, while the introduction explores the poets’ responses to love, the realities of life, and growing old.
