Looking Strategically: Feminist and Queer Aesthetics in Michael Field's Sight and Song.
- Authors
Ehnenn, Jill
- Abstract
An essay is presented which focuses on the poetry collection "Sight and Song" written by Katharine Harris Bradley and Edith Emma Cooper under the joint pseudonym Michael Field. The author argues that the picture-poems featured in the collection act as critiques of Victorian ideologies regarding sex, gender, and aesthetics from both feminist and queer perspectives in an attempt to challenge sexism.
