Bøker av Patricia Rigg

This critical biography of A. Mary F. Robinson traces her unorthodox journey through the literary circles of London and Paris as a writer of poetry and prose, a leading member of the Anglo-French community, and a significant contributor to the cultural and literary shift from nineteenth-century Victorianism to twentieth-century modernism.

This book treats the literary work of Julia Augusta Webster within the context of Webster's participation in nineteenth century British aestheticism. It makes use of extensive archival materials to provide context for a study of Webster's literary work, beginning with her first volume of poetry Blanche Lisle and concluding with her posthumously published Mother and Daughter sonnets. In tracing the trajectory of Websters development as an aestheticist poet, Patricia Rigg extends Webster scholarship into areas of the writer's work not previously explored.
