Amy Levy’s ‘A Minor Poet, and Other Verse’ is a collection of poetry that reflects late 19th-century societal norms and highlights the struggles of women in a patriarchal society. Levy’s poetry is characterized by its exploration of gender roles, identity, and the restrictions placed on women during that time. Her use of eloquent language and vivid imagery adds depth to the themes explored in her poetry, making it a compelling read for those interested in feminist literature of the period. Levy’s work is often compared to that of other Victorian poets, such as Christina Rossetti and Emily Dickinson, but she brings a unique perspective to her poetry that sets her apart from her contemporaries. Her courage in addressing taboo subjects and challenging societal expectations shines through in her poems, making ‘A Minor Poet, and Other Verse’ a valuable addition to the Victorian literary canon. I highly recommend this book to readers who enjoy exploring the complexities of gender, identity, and societal norms through the lens of poetry.
