Charlotte Mew's poems explore a wide range of themes, including passionate discussions of faith and the possibility of belief in God and proto-modernism. Many of her poems are in the form of dramatic monologues, and she often wrote from the point of view of a male persona, allowing her to gain the patronage of several literary figures, notably Thomas Hardy, who called her the best woman poet of her day; Virginia Woolf, who said she was 'very good and quite unlike anyone else', and Siegfried Sassoon. She lived from 1869-1928. This collection includes a thoughtful discussion about her works, and includes all of her poems, as well previously unreleased poems that are hard to find.
