Hardback : $297.00
This is a journey through six centuries of poets writing in the voice of the opposite sex. Poems both canonical and less traditional, from early modern England to present-day Africa, are in this collection. In an introduction and conclusion the editors explore the historical, cultural and theoretical context of the poems and of cross-gendered writing. They also provide a bibliography of further reading. It should be a useful contribution to issues of gender, masks and voices in fields such as literary, gender and performance studies and creative writing. Over 80 poets are represented here, including: Geoffrey Chaucer, John Donne, Mary Sidney Wroth, Aphra Behn, Alexander Pope, William Blake, Robert Burns, William Wordsworth, Robert Browning, Emily Bronte, Thomas Hardy, Rudyard Kipling, W.B. Yeats, Robert Frost, Ezra Pound, Langston Hughes, W.H. Auden.

"By presenting old material in a new context, by constructing
hitherto unseen genealogies through unexpected conclusions and
strategic omissions, anthologies self-consciously construct and
revise Literature itself. "The Routledge Anthology of Cross-Gender
Verse is an example of anthology-making at its best.."
