商品描述

This collection of essays explores the life and works of the British poet and author of short stories Charlotte Mew (1869-1928). It represents the first volume dedicated solely to critical engagement with the full range of Mew's poetry, fiction and essays. Mew moved within a remarkable range of literary and intellectual circles, from The Yellow Book in the 1890s to Bloomsbury's Poetry Bookshop in the 1910s. As such, her work challenges traditional distinctions between literary periods and sits within the more expansive framework of the long nineteenth century and its legacies. Each chapter contextualises Mew's oeuvre by examining her experiments with poetic and narrative genres in relation to her wider late Victorian and early modernist intellectual milieu. The volume draws together literary scholars working across the fields of poetry and poetics, decadence, modernism, ecocriticism and queer theory, while illustrating the particular stylistic and thematic complexities of Mew's writing.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本隨筆集探討了英國詩人及短篇小說作家夏洛特·梅尤(Charlotte Mew,1869-1928)的生活與作品。這是第一本專門針對梅尤的詩歌、小說和隨筆進行批評性探討的著作。梅尤活躍於多個卓越的文學與知識圈,從1890年代的《黃書》(The Yellow Book)到1910年代的布盧姆斯伯里的詩歌書店(Bloomsbury's Poetry Bookshop)。因此,她的作品挑戰了傳統的文學時期劃分,並置於更廣泛的長十九世紀及其遺產的框架中。每一章節都通過考察梅尤在詩歌和敘事類型上的實驗,來為她的作品提供背景,並與她更廣泛的晚維多利亞時期及早期現代主義的知識環境相聯繫。這本書匯集了在詩歌與詩學、頹廢主義、現代主義、生態批評及酷兒理論等領域工作的文學學者,同時展示了梅尤寫作中特有的風格與主題複雜性。
