'Michael Field'

Meer over het boek

The book explores the unique poetic identity of 'Michael Field,' the pseudonym for Katharine Bradley and Edith Cooper, who crafted a distinct aesthetic persona as both lovers and collaborators. Marion Thain examines how their life and art reflect and engage with late-nineteenth and early-twentieth-century aesthetic debates, particularly through the lenses of time and history. This study not only sheds light on their contributions to poetry and aestheticism but also offers broader insights into Victorian and modernist literature, making it essential for scholars in these fields.
