Women Poets and Anonymity in the Romantic Era

Abstract

Picture, if you will, the woman poet of the Romantic era, toiling away in obscurity, fearful of putting her name before the public — of being seen and recognized as a writer, publishing book after book anonymously or under the veil of ‘by a lady’, or using some other subterfuge to keep her true identity secret. This woman poet, this familiar portrait, is a fiction — as much of a myth, it seems, as the notion of poetry coming as spontaneously and ‘as naturally as the Leaves to a tree’.
