	glbtq >> literature >> Mew, Charlotte
		Charlotte Mew's poetry encodes the emotional pain of hiding her lesbian identity in a world of compulsory heterosexuality.
		Mew was strictly brought up by her nurse, Elizabeth Goodman, whom she was later to describe in the memoir "An Old Servant." The family was often struck by hardship; three of Mew's siblings died in childhood, and two others went insane in their twenties.
		Mew's poetry does not explicitly mention her lesbianism but encodes the emotional pain of hiding her sexuality in complex dramatic monologues on themes of loss and isolation.

		Mew was connected with the avant-garde of the early twentieth century through The Yellow Book and her association with May Sinclair, but she was never able to break free of her nineteenth century preoccupation with sexuality and remained tied imaginatively to the Victorian period.
		As Mew’s poetry is often concerned with the experience of women there is a temptation to try to fit ‘the singer’ to ‘the song’ by reading her work as autobiography, although this would not necessarily reveal the ‘secret self’, as autobiographies are created from a selection of experience.
		Charlotte Mew is not included as Armstrong does not consider her to belong to the Victorian period.

	Penn State Deluge - Vol. 2 No. 1 - Spring 2004 - Natalie Kressen
		Charlotte Mew deals with the subject of the ostracized "other" through a series of perspectives and situations that all share a common set of connections.
		While one must be careful not to take Mew's poetry as strictly autobiographical, it is important to look at her life because it gives one a context for understanding that Mew has seen and experienced extreme feelings of isolation and otherness, which underpin her sympathy for "otherness" in society.
		Mew's characters do not have to be relegated to a borderland (which is just shorthand otherness) but instead are conceived as subjects with open minds capable of insightful observation.

	Isle of Lesbos: Poetry of Charlotte Mew
		Charlotte Mew, born in London, was one of the last poets of the Victorian era.

		Mew’s use of dialect dates her – these were the days of Hardy’s Wessex poems and D. Lawrence’s poetic experiments with Nottinghamshire speech.However, the dialects she chooses, those of Cornwall, the Isle ofWight, the London working classes, are always voices at one remove from her own.
