Lord Byron’S Feminist Canon: Notes Toward Its Construction, Paul Douglass
Lord Byron’S Feminist Canon: Notes Toward Its Construction, Paul Douglass
Paul Douglass
Lord Byron took a highly ambivalent attitude toward female authorship, and yet his poetry, letters, and journals exhibit many proofs of the power of women’s language and perceptions. He responded to, borrowed from, and adapted parts of the works of Maria Edgeworth, Harriet Lee, Madame de Staël, Mary Shelley, Elizabeth Inchbald, Hannah Cowley, Joanna Baillie, Lady Caroline Lamb, Mary Robinson, and Charlotte Dacre.
