Title of the paper : The female voice in Victorian Poetry: Representations of women in Art

Author or topic : Robert Browning, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Lord Alfred Tennyson, Christina Rossetti and Elisabeth Barret Browning.

Abstract : This paper is the analysis of the female voice in the Victorian poetry, and it shows the different representations that women have suffered during this period. Reading and analyzing some poems of the main author s of that time, I have understood the role of the women of the Victorian Time, how they were over a standard mind and how they fight against this situation. In my opinion, the women of the Victorian Era were suppressed and they were educated in what can be called “the right standard”, but some women, as Elisabeth Barret Browning or Christina Rossetti, used their poetry to represent the injustices and inequalities women suffered. We can attach to these poets that the pen is a great fighter, better than any other weapon.

Auto- evaluation: I have read a lot of poems and other sources of information to obtain a good interpretation of the author’s minds. Moreover, I have analyzed every text looking for any clue and any expression of the female voice in order to reach my aim: to understand and explain the female voice during the Victorian Time and the different representations women suffered. I think I have made the best that I can make in these subject.
