Abstract Details

2004, Master of Arts, Miami University, English.
This thesis explores Felicia Hemans’s American wilderness poetry, specifically “Edith: A Tale of the Woods” and “The American Forest-Girl,” looking closely at how she uses the trope of captivity and Native Americans to take part in Britain’s political debates. At the same time, Hemans is also participating in transatlantic conversations with other women writers during the nineteenth century. In doing so, Hemans is redefining not only British but also American identity.
