{"product_id":"uncanonical-women-9789042005327","title":"Uncanonical Women","description":"In English here is presented for the first time an examination of the text and context of five nineteenth-century French women poets:  Elisa Mercoeur (1808-1835), Marceline Desbordes-Valmore (1786-1859), Louisa Siefert (1845-1877), Louise Ackermann (1813-1890) and Louise Michel (1830-1905) will demonstrate that in spite of mentoring by various literary, historic or even family figures, these writers found their own voices.  A striking example is Louisa Siefert, who in spite of bold intertextuality, displays an unmistakably feminine \u003ci\u003epersona\u003c\/i\u003e, whose originality poignantly draws the reader's attention. These poets had many obstacles of overcome as woman-identified poets. For example, Louise Ackermann's own husband did not want her to write, and for this reason, she remained silent during her who years of marriage. Louise Michel is a different case as an analysis of the short poem Bouche close (\u003ci\u003eLe Livre du Bagne\u003c\/i\u003e, 1873-1880) will demonstrate. In short, \u003ci\u003eUncanonical Women\u003c\/i\u003e, explores a crescendo of poetic voice, from the initial timid solicitations of Elisa Mercoeur, to the bold, self-sufficient defiance of Louise Michel. The implication of my original findings that uncanonical poets can surpass cultural marginalization is that the book will target both a traditional and modern readership. Major these and clear language and tools that delineate identifiably personal style of true writers and the poetic \u003ci\u003epersona\u003c\/i\u003e of each is unique: Mercoeur in ambition, Desbordes-Valmore in domesticity, Siefert, in anguish, Ackermann in pessimism and Michel in leadership.","brand":"Wendy Greenberg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48270233567483,"sku":"9789042005327","price":149.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_6a1b9cb2-7d54-44a9-a6ff-cf463471a7d6.jpg?v=1770964541","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/uncanonical-women-9789042005327","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
