| Summary |
"Michael Field" by Mary Sturgeon is a biographical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the lives and works of two remarkable women poets, Katharine Bradley and Edith Cooper, who collaborated under the pseudonym Michael Field. It likely delves into their literary contributions, personal experiences, and the challenges they faced as female poets in a predominantly male literary world, shedding light on their complex relationship and the nature of their artistic endeavors. The opening of the text introduces the author’s admiration for Michael Field's poetry, noting a lack of recognition for their work and the desire to highlight both their literary achievements and their personal story, which is described as “epical in romance and heroism.” The author recalls a dinner party where Robert Browning reveals the existence of Michael Field, only to find that the audience is unaware that this name stands for two women rather than a single male poet. We learn about the early lives of Bradley and Cooper, their strong familial bonds, and their mutual dedication to poetry, setting the stage for their combined literary journey and the profound impact of their lives on their artistic output.
