The ‘Dying-Tale’ as Epistemic Strategy in Hemans’s Records of Woman
2020
The personal writings of popular nineteenth-century poet Felicia Hemans indicate her desire to alleviate social constraints on women to improve their education, yet her poetry’s female figures often seem overly attached to domesticity or lacking in emotional fortitude. This paper addresses ways in which a study of early modern female writers of history can inform Hemans scholarship, particularly by drawing on Megan Matchinske’s work on the ‘dying-tale’ in Elizabeth Cary’s The Tragedy of Mariam (1613). Similarly, Hemans promotes the necessity of women acting to ensure successful political and personal endurance in ‘The Switzer’s Tale’. Furthermore, in the pedagogy of Records of Woman (1828), Hemans responds to the problem of visual dominance in art by adopting a multi-sensory approach to communication that relies especially on the auditory. This strategy takes part in a broader epistemic approach to history that criticises the reliability of memory and the transience of human bodies. Ultimately, Hemans suggests that transcendence occurs through the exercise of the human will, the ultimate representation of which is martyrdom.

The liminal woman in Mary Wroth's Love's Victory
2008
[...]Aletheia, a fictional shepherdess, may enter the Vale of Woe where she meets the nymph Idya, who symbolises England and who mourns the death, in 1612, of the real Prince Henry, who is, in turn, compared to \"our Heroě (honour'd ESSEX) ... [who] 'dy'd'\" in 1601. Towards the end of Act V they approach the Temple of Love addressing Venus and Cupid in verse; Philisses promises Venus, Hers [Musella's] I lived, hers now I die, Crowned with fame's eternity. [...]your [Venus'] force shall glory have By Philisses' loving grave.3 Correspondingly, Musella predicts, Earth too mean for such a truth, Shall in death have lasting youth; No decay, no strife, no fate, Shall disturb that 'during state. At the end of the play, therefore, even though Silvesta points out that Venus \"sent the drink\" and the goddess acknowledges that the shepherdess was her \"instrument,\" there is no suggestion that the poison was a sleeping draught or that death was faked. Silvesta persuades them to die by poison instead of knives and offers them a potion which (apparently) causes their death ... the potion wears off, the seeming dead are called forth by Venus and her priests.6 (italics mine) Second, she goes on to note that Wroth changes the \"generic convention . for the final resolutions . to be narrated . rather than represented\" into \"a more dramatic resolution scene
