 | | British Women Poets of the Romantic Era: An Anthology The Johns Hopkins University Press, 1997, 768 pp., ISBN 0-8018-5430-X, $60.00 Description: Many readers still associate the Romantic era with six major poets: Samuel Taylor Coleridge, William Wordsworth, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Lord Byron, John Keats and William Blake. |
 | | But recently, critics have challenged this all-male canon, pointing out that during the Romantic period women such as Joanna Baillie, Anna Letitia Barbauld, Felicia Hemans, Letitia Elizabeth Landon, Mary Robinson, Anna Seward, Charlotte Smith, and Mary Tighe were among the most highly respected and widely read practitioners of the art of poetry. |
 | | Working-class poets, such as Christian Milne and Isabel Pagan, take their place among aristocrats, such as Lady Byron and Carolina, Baroness Nairne. |
