Romantic Visualities: Landscape, Gender and Romanticism

This study explores the gendered nature of the prospect view, or vantage-point, from which Romantic writing, particularly poetry, is composed. The author emphasizes the literary and critical movements that endorse, further, or undermine the gendered dichotomy based on a culturally-constructed difference in perception or visuality, emphasizing in her discussion the parts, representation, and cultural significance of the landscape.
