- Title
Burying the Poetess: Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Poetesses, and the Male Poetic Tradition.
- Authors
Taylor, Beverly
- Abstract
In her own poem, EBB countered Landon's with a series of rhetorical questions underscoring the transcendent value of Hemans's artistic talent: "Would she have lost the poet's fire for anguish of the burning? By entitling her poem "Stanzas Addressed to Miss Landon, and Suggested by her 'Stanzas on the Death of Mrs. Hemans'" ( I WEBB i 1: 535-37), EBB indicated her poem does not commemorate Hemans's death so much as reply to Landon's mournful verse. Elizabeth barrett Browning understood the term I poetess i to designate women less artful than male poets.
