商品簡介
Bradshaw (English, Loyola U., Chicago) seeks to rehabilitate the reputation of US poet Lowell (1874-1925), who has effectively been dropped from literary history since her death. She says that Lowell masterfully exploited her notoriety as a women poet who refused to be conventionally beautiful, humble, or heterosexually feminine in order to make a career for herself as the leading poetic impresario of her era. However, the persona she created also served as the single most effective weapon her critics used to destroy her artistic reputation in the years following her death.
