Title: A Separate Vision: isolation in contemporary women's poetry.
Description: Baton Rouge, LA, Louisiana State Univ Press, (1984). VG in G DJ. Stamp on fep "Complimentary Copy Not To Be Resold." One of the significant directions of literature in the 20th century was. the emergency of large numbers of women writers expressing a deliberately female consciousness and their central idea has been the particular isolation, or marginality, felt by women. The focus is on 4 contemporary poets: Louise Bogan, Maxine Kumin, Denise Levertov & Adrienne Rich, to explore the ways in which women writers' treatment of isolation extends our perception of women's experience & our understanding of alienated human sensibility. Pope identifies 4 phases of isolation: victimization, personalization, split-self & validation, which show a progression from negation to affirmation, from powerlessness & severe restriction to literal & psychological freedom.
