- Title
Mary Hutton and the Development of a Working-Class Women's Political Poetics.
- Authors
TIMNEY, MEAGAN
- Abstract
The article discusses the poetry of working-class women during the Victorian period, particularly focusing on the work of poet Mary Hutton, who was part of the Chartist labor movement. It is noted that the work of many such women poets has been "lost" as an outcome of the socioeconomic status of such authors. The pervasive political discourse in England in the 1830s and 1840s is examined in terms of the New Poor Law and poverty and how these things impacted Hutton's poetry. Her book "Cottage Tales and Poems" is examined.
