Description

Explore a new perspective on eighteenth-century literature with Churchyard Poetics: Landscape, Labour, and the Legacy of Genre from Oxford University Press. While the traditional category of 'graveyard poetry' often focuses on melancholy religious poets and visions of the afterlife, this work reveals a different side of the cultural imaginary. This book examines how the churchyard landscape serves as a significant space for a counter-tradition of women and labouring-class poets. It moves beyond simple didactic visions to show how these writers viewed the churchyard as a resting place without closure. Through an analysis of works by Mary Leapor, Ann Yearsley, Charlotte Smith, and others, this text provides a fresh understanding of how landscape and labour intersect in the genre.
