The Female Poet, Volume 4

Written by Katherine Mansfield and Mary Darby Robinson

Narrated by Ghizela Rowe and Richard Mitchley

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 4 we bring you works from Katherine Mansfield to Mary Darby Robinson by way of Alice Meynell, Hannah More, Edith Nesbit, Katherine Phillips. Our readers include Ghizela Rowe and Patricia Rodriguez.

Katherine Mansfield

Katherine Mansfield (1888–1923) was born into a wealthy family in Wellington, New Zealand. She received a formal education at Queen’s College in London where she began her literary career. She found regular work with the periodical Rhythm, later known as The Blue Review, before publishing her first book, In a German Pension in 1911. Over the next decade, Mansfield would gain critical acclaim for her masterful short stories, including “Bliss” and “The Garden Party.”
