Abstract EN
“Shakespeare’s Resurrected Sisters: Emily Dickinson and Sylvia Plath” is an overview of the oft-neglected collective female poetic tradition from the 17th to the 20th centuries that is meant to identify the common themes that run through these works as describes in Shakespeare’s Sisters: Feminist Essays on Women Poets (Gilbert and Gubar, 1979).
It signifies the resurrection of the poetic creativity in female poets as they are straining against the roles imposed on them by the Western patriarchal tradition.
It then focuses on how their attempt to rebel against the Western patriarchal tradition is expressed in a speculation on Woolf’s image of the so-called Shakespeare’s Sisters, on the poetry of Emily Dickinson and Sylvia Plath that crystalizes the commonalities that tie these writers within the trajectory of female poets.
