A passionate sisterhood: The sisters, wives, and daughters of the Lake Poets

Jones, Kathleen

Literature & Fiction

Constable

Christina Rossetti was the youngest of four children. Like Elizabeth Barrett Browning, she suffered the tyranny of a loving family, being restrained by the "police surveillance" of her sister Maria and the goodness of their mother. Although she and her brother Dante Gabriel were known as the "two storms", she curbed her passionate nature, and a love of life was replaced in her work initially by the bitterness of the lonely and ultimately by the conviction of the religious. Comparing her situation with that of contemporaries Emily Bronte and Emily Dickinson, this biography examines the effects of Victorian social and religious convention on the life and work of the "High Priestess of Pre-Raphaelitism".

Oxford University Press

<p>In this group biography of the women who featured in the lives of the poets William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and Robert Southey, Kathleen Jones takes us into the kitchens, sickrooms, and eventually the madwoman's attics of these major Romantic households. The image of the familiar rustic idyll of Romantic poetry depends upon the bracing way these women bore the brunt of domestic realities. Their letters and journals form the basis for an illuminating new account of their interconnected lives--their passionate attachments, jealousies, the deaths of children, the realities of chronic ill health--at the same time contributing to our understanding of Wordsworth, Coleridge, and Southey as all-too-fallible human beings.</p>

This work is a completely revised and rewritten version of Professor Jones' classic History of the mental Health Services. This new History takes full account of modern historical critiques of the subject, including the revisionism of Goffman, Focault and Szasz, medical and legal analyses, the revaluation by a variety of scholars in the light of such late 20th century perspectives as neo-Marxism, Thatherism, feminism, normalization and empowerment.
