摘要

In a famous letter to Robert Lowell, Elizabeth Bishop christened herself “a minor female Wordsworth.” Bishop’s choices of subject, speakers, and tone foster a seemingly unambitious perspective. But this outlook can best be understood as strategy with a long literary history. This chapter argues that this position depends on the stances of other late-Romantic authors, like Charles Lamb and Mary Mitford.
