About this audiobook
The gentler sex or the deadlier of the species. Between these two definitions of the female gender lies a collection of some of the most beautiful verse ever written. For much of history women have been seen rather than heard. In this volume poets of great depth and feeling express themselves on a range of topics and in ways that perhaps only a woman can. Here in Volume 3 we bring you works from Elizabeth Gaskell to Amy Lowell by way of Ann Griffiths, Janet Hamilton, Letitia Elizabeth Landon, Emma Lazarus and many others. Our readers include Ghizela Rowe, Richard Mitchley and Angharad Rees.
Author
Elizabeth Gaskell
Elizabeth Gaskell was an English author and poet, and is best-known for her classic novels Cranford, North and South, and Wives and Daughters. Gaskell was a contemporary and an associate of many other early nineteenth-century writers, including Charles Dickens, Harriet Beecher Stowe, and Charlotte Bronte, and was commissioned by Bronte’s father upon the author’s death to write her biography, The Life of Charlotte Bronte. Gaskell died in 1865 at the age of 55.
