Antología de poetas inglesas del siglo XIX

If there is any language and century where tradition recognizes women at the same level as their male counterparts, it is undoubtedly 19th century England. But there is still work to be done: many of these poets remain unpublished in Castilian or have been translated in a hesitant and intermittent way, serve this anthology as recognition and impulse. The reader will find in its pages the visionary talent of the three Brontë sisters (Charlotte, Emily and Anne), poems that capture the nostalgia of a life in the moors. Elizabeth Barret Browning serves us a series of sonnets analyzing the most subtle and passionate movements of falling in love. Mary Shelley writes about the loss of a loved one amid haunting descriptions of the Italian coastline. George Eliot puts his undeniable talent as a novelist at the service of poetry to offer us dazzling meditations on goodness and the passage of time. No one in the entire 19th century has offered the reader a walk on the magical side of life (fairies, forests, elves) like Christina Rossetti. And you may not have heard the name of Alice Meynell or Charlotte Mew, but surely you will never forget her sensitivity to capture nature or sense the transcendent. Names that are combined with those of Wordsworth, Byron or Keats to raise the English poetry of the nineteenth century as one of the most fascinating and varied in world literature.
