From the raucous Ann of Swansea to the demure Jane Cave...what was life like for Welsh women poets of the 19th century?
Catherine Brennan is the author of a new book rediscovering the works of these neglected poets. She analyses the work of 7 Welsh women poets from a relatively neglected period in Welsh literary studies. Each of the writers considered, from Jane Cave and Felicia Hemans to Anna Walter Thomas, wrote in a period of rapid and intense social change, yet each maintained her own particular and deeply held connection with Wales.
Catherine Brennan joins Jenni to suggest that the work of these writers, taken as a whole, opens up new ways of understanding class, gender and "Welshness" in the 19th century.
Angers, Fantasies and Ghostly Fears: Nineteenth-century Women from Wales and English Language Poetry, by Catherine Brennan , Published 30 May 2003, University of Wales Press, ISBN: 0708317642
