- Authors
Fletcher, Robert P.
- Abstract
The article comments on the book "Birds of Passage: Songs of the Orient and Occident," by Mathilde Blind. This is a wonderful book of poetry, filled with some of Blind's best verse. The book caps the extraordinary career of a versatile poet capable of both daring and refinement. It demonstrates the subjectivity of an independent woman in the Victorian period. Blind's radical politics were grounded in upbringing and expressed throughout her writing. She had great appreciation for ancient Egyptian culture that was depicted in her book.
