Symbolism and the Antipodes : The Fallen Woman in Caroline Leakey’s Lyra Australis, or Attempts to Sing in a Strange Land
2015
single work
criticism
— Appears in: Australian Literary Studies , 31 October vol. 30 no. 3 2015;'This essay considers Caroline Leakey's volume of poetry, Lyra Australis, or Attempts to Sing in a Strange Land (1854), and argues that the more broadly feminist aspects of Leakey’s poetry, particularly its sympathetic portrayal of ‘the fallen woman’, are connected with developments in Anglophone women’s poetry in the first half of the nineteenth century. It reads Leakey's volume as a radical rejection of the increasing restrictions placed on sympathetic narratives about ‘fallen women’ by the mid nineteenth century by contextualising it within broader frameworks of women’s writing on the fallen woman.'
