Churchyard Poetics. Landscape, Labour, and the Legacy of Genre, Hardback

The churchyard is a familiar but little-understood literary landscape in eighteenth-century scholarship. This book recovers work by women and labouring-class poets to argue that the churchyard was an important and revealing site in the cultural imaginary as this period negotiated the transition to capitalism.
