The great unshackling of women's voices in poetry has one of its beginnings right here. These sad beautiful poems are full of rendings and breakings and burnings.' So writes Eavan Boland in her introduction to her selection of poems of Charlotte Mew (1868-1928). Identifying in Mew the startling, powerful voice that first made possible a new kind of poetry, free of Victorian expectations of a 'poetess', Boland has selected the poems that have meant most to her as a reader and a writer. The dialogue between the two poets establishes Mew's place in the continuing dialogue of women's writing.;Cover; Title Page; Epigraph; Contents; Introduction; Chronology; The Farmer's Bride; On the Asylum Road; In the Fields; In Nunhead Cemetery; Fame; The Quiet House; À quoi bon dire; Monsieur qui passe; Rooms; My Heart is Lame; On the Road to the Sea; Fin de fête; The Changeling; The Cenotaph; I so liked Spring; The Forest Road; The Shade-Catchers; From a Window; The Trees are Down; A Farewell; I Have Been Through the Gates; Madeleine in Church; Not for that City; Pêri en mer; Select Bibliography; Index of First Lines; Index of Titles; About The Author; Copyright.
