Her \u003cem\u003eElegiac Sonnets\u003c\/em\u003e sparked the sonnet revival in English Romanticism; \u003cem\u003eThe Emigrants\u003c\/em\u003e initiated its passion for lengthy meditative introspection; and \u003cem\u003eBeachy Head\u003c\/em\u003e lent its poetic engagement with nature a uniquely telling immediacy. Smith was a woman, Wordsworth remarked a quarter century after her death, \"to whom English verse is under greater obligations than are likely to be either acknowledged or remembered.\" True to his prediction, Smith's poetry has virtually dropped from sight and thus from cultural consciousness. This, the first edition of Smith's collected poems, will restore to all students of English poetry a distinctive, compelling voice. Likewise, the recovery of Smith to her rightful place among the Romantic poets must spur the reassessment of the place of women writers within that culture.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51648932577554,"sku":"9780195083583","price":81.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_cd61d52c-e240-4621-b5c9-e8bd25bf2325.jpg?v=1759839047","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/the-poems-of-charlotte-smith-9780195083583","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
