- Title
"Telling what's o'er": Remaking the Sonnet Cycle in Augusta Webster's Mother and Daughter.
- Authors
FLUHR, NICOLE
- Abstract
The article presents a critique of the book of sonnets "Mother and Daughter" (1895), by Augusta Webster. It is argued that in this book, Webster experiments with the the relationship between the author and the narrators in her poems in order to show that authors do not have to write from their own lives but can create imaginative spaces for their poems. Webster's own ideas on autobiographical poetry are examined.
