'The nothingness of fame, at least to women': Felicia Hemans and the price of celebrity

Although Hemans was by the late 1820s the bestselling female poet in England, her poetic content and style were nonetheless dictated, and therefore limited, by the demands of the print market.

Are Monads So Much Less Than Men?
In this article the author will focus on May Kendall and the evolutionary poetry that she published in Punch magazine and the “Science” section of her 1887 collection Dreams to Sell. Focusing particularly on Kendall’s responses to the science of craniology and her depictions of evolution’s blurring of boundaries between seemingly distinct groups, Birch argues that Kendall displaces debates about gender and brain size onto other species and presents a reading of evolution that is implicitly anti-hierarchical and that undermines rigid categories.- Creator
