Summary:

"Women's Poetry and Popular Culture brings a fresh approach to the field by showing that poems by women do not always subvert the mainstream, the media, and the marketplace. Bridging feminist and cultural studies, the book shows how British and American women poets often operate as cultural insiders. Individual chapters reassess major figures (H.D., Gwendolyn Brooks, Sylvia Plath), alternative modernist poets (Edith Sitwell, Stevie Smith), and contemporary poets (Ai, Carol Ann Duffy)"--Provided by publisher.
