Women poetry in the 19th century - Conference by Hannah Doyle

-

🎭✨ Women & Poetry in the 19th Century ✨📜

Poetry in the Romantic era was largely a male domain, yet a handful of brilliant female poets dared to write under their own names. Among them, Marceline Desbordes-Valmore emerged as a leading voice—a trailblazer whose work defied conventions but remained overlooked for decades.

Join us for a captivating conference presented by Hannah Doyle (University of Adelaide), as we delve into:

  • The Role of Women in 19th-Century Poetry – The struggle for recognition in a male-dominated literary world
  • The Life of Marceline Desbordes-Valmore – From actress to poet, how her theatrical background shaped her poetry
  • The Theatricality of Her Work – A bold challenge to 19th-century poetic norms
  • Poetic Mastery & Innovation – In-depth analysis of her groundbreaking poems

Hannah Doyle teaches French language and literature at the University of Adelaide. She recently completed a Master of Philosophy, specialising in the poetry of Marceline Desbordes-Valmore. She is particularly interested in the link between Desbordes-Valmore’s theatrical background and the performative nature of her poems. Her research aims to draw attention to the poetic mastery, innovation, and authority of this often-overlooked poet.
