12905 The Noonday Press : Farrar Straus Giroux New York, NY, U.S.A. 1988 Reprint Edition, 1989 Soft Cover Very Good Pictorial printer wrapper. Volume has slightly ruffled corners. Now in protective wrap. "This book is about women and poetry, in particular about some of the women who tried to write poetry in the century of Donne, Milton, and Dryden. We have aimed to show who the women were who tried to storm the highest bastion of the cultural establishment, the citadel of 'sacred poetry'. They were all guerrilleras, untrained, ill-equipped, isolated and vulnerable. We have done our best to let them speak in their own voices; our commentary upon their performance reveals more about the English literary culture of which we are victims than it does about women's creativity." $12.00USD
