Description
This article explores the Athenaeum's editorial policy toward poets and reviewers of poetry. It explodes the myth that Theodore Watts-Dunton dominated the poetry section in the eighties and nineties by revealing the identities of four generations of women poets who acted as critics: Matilde Blind, Augusta Webster, Edith Nesbit, and Rosamund Marriott Watson. The Athenaeum reviews also reveal whether some female critics adopted a specifically 'feminine' style, concentrated on feminine themes, or generally reviewed from a feminine point of view. **********
