From Library Journal:
This collection is like a visit to an antiques store, where one encounters a neat stack of carefully crafted doilies and antimacassars created by patient fingers of a bygone era, most of them beautiful in their craft but irrelevant to today's households. Neuberger has gathered together spiritual poems by English and American women poets and arranged them chronologically, from Caroline Southey (born in 1786) to Sylvia Plath. The vast majority of poets represented here date from the 19th century and write in a style that will seem outmoded to contemporary readers of poetry. Nearly all the poems are conventionally rhymed; cliches and trite images abound. The reader must remember the era to which these poets belong and refrain from assuming that much of this book consists of "bad poetry." Many well-known poets are represented here, among them Browning, the Bronte sisters, Dickenson, Rossetti, H.D., Bishop, and Stevie Smith, and there are some wonderful descoveries: Alice Meynell, Adelaide Crapsey, and Ella Wheeler Wilcox. Only for larger poetry collections.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Some of the poets selected for this volume of verse by women are well known, such as the Brontes, and some are even fashionable, such as Stevie Smith. Others are unfamiliar names, barely read nowadays. But all of them write with intensity and have messages about inner life, and particularly the contemplation of death and immortality. 18th and 19th-century women were no strangers to death, and in the 1990s, as attitudes change, their poetry can be read with more understanding. Julia Neuberger was rabbi at the South London Synagogue for 11 years and is the author of Whatever's Happening to Women? The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR004150266
