The poetry of late-Victorian writer Mary Coleridge (1861-1907) is often startling and idiosyncratic, challenging and disturbing. Over the course of a quarter of a century, Coleridge wrote nearly 250 poems-lyrics, ballads, dramatic monologues, sonnets, elegies and occasional verse-which engage with issues as wide ranging as the politics of relationships and the position of women, religious doubt and spiritual experience, nature and the urban space, history, war, art and creativity.
