This interactive hypertext uses Richard Polwhele's poem 'The Unsex'd Females' to introduce students and scholars alike to some of the British Romantic Period's foremost female contributors. Since Polwhele addresses these women by name in 'The Unsex'd Females,' the poem provides a means of examining closely some of the many female figures often excluded from the traditional British Romantic Period canon. A fascinating survey of paintings and drawings illustrating the gradual shift from Puritan notions of the child as essentially fallen and corrupt to the Romantic idea of the innocence and purity of children. Great art, and many helpful links for more information about the period. The text of a complete scholarly monograph posted as a Web site, beautifully illustrated and fully annotated.
