Writing for Relief: Poetry, Labor, and the Lancashire Cotton Famine (1861–1865).

Dema, Eva
- Abstract
The article offers poetry criticism of the poem "Writing for Relief: Poetry, Labor, and the Lancashire Cotton Famine" (1861–1865) by Eva Dema. The author tells about a famine-struck Lancashire, the silencing of the looms that had marked a stark shift to the Lancashire soundscape and also tells how poets would come to pattern their works around this acutely aural aspect of the distress.
