The Female Poet: Volume 3

Written by Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell, Amy Lowell, Amelia Lanyer and 4 more

Narrated by Ghizela Rowe, Richard Mitchley and Angharad Rees

The gentler sex or the deadlier of the species. Between these two definitions of the female gender lies a collection of some of the most beautiful verse ever written. For much of history women have been seen rather than heard. In this volume poets of great depth and feeling express themselves on a range of topics and in ways that perhaps only a woman can. Here in Volume 3 we bring you works from Elizabeth Gaskell to Amy Lowell by way of Ann Griffiths, Janet Hamilton, Letitia Elizabeth Landon, Emma Lazarus and many others. Our readers include Ghizela Rowe, Richard Mitchley and Angharad Rees.

Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell

Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell (1810-1865) was an English author who wrote biographies, short stories, and novels. Because her work often depicted the lives of Victorian society, including the individual effects of the Industrial Revolution, Gaskell has impacted the fields of both literature and history. While Gaskell is now a revered author, she was criticized and overlooked during her lifetime, dismissed by other authors and critics because of her gender. However, after her death, Gaskell earned a respected legacy and is credited to have paved the way for feminist movements.
