Recenzii
'With great intellectual force and velocity, Laura Severin pierces the obscurity in which twentieth-century British women poets have languished and liberates them from their status as "minor" writers. . . . No study before hers has paid so much attention, and done this to such good effect, to the performative aspects of work by poets such as Charlotte Mew, Edith Sitwell, or Stevie Smith. The chapter on Stevie Smith, in particular, is a triumph.' Margaret D. Stetz, Mae and Robert Carter Professor of Women's Studies, University of Delaware '... Severin laudably retrieves and identifies the ways in which theatricality has served women's creativity in drama and poetry, advocating a new context of critique that addresses 'the unexamined liminal zone' between postcoloniality and Britishness where women's work is still ostensibly consigned to the critical periphery.'

Descriere
This study examines the performed poetry of Charlotte Mew, Anna Wickham, Edith Sitwell, Stevie Smith, Liz Lochhead, and Jackie Kay as an alternative radical tradition of British poetry, developed to convey women's experience. Through a historical treatment in which the poets are discussed in pairs, the chapters trace how these six women used a performative poetry to deal with difficulties regarding women's representation: from simply presenting difference in the case of Mew and Wickham, to deconstructing difference in the case of Sitwell and Smith, to avoiding the recapture of cultural imagery in the case of Lockhead and Kay.
