Feminism, Ecology, Romanticism, Spencer Hall
Spencer Hall
This review studies gender discrimination in academic Romantic criticism. It brings to light the influence of the works of William Wordsworth on women poets. The review takes a look at the term "Wordsworth" and suggests it needs to be viewed not as a masculinist concept, but as a product of the combination of he and his wife's, Dorothy Wordsworth, works. The review states the book goes further past the knowledge that William used some of his wife's material as his "raw material" for his poetry and suggests that Dorothy intended to supply William with data.
