‘One deep heart wrung!’: Felicia Hemans’s Affective Poetics in ‘The Indian City’ and ‘Woman on the Field of Battle
2022
Overview
Rather than a scholarly Orientalism or one based on travel to the “East,” Hemans orients the subject in an aesthetics of representation that is bound by the self-created imaginary of the text. For Spivak, the subaltern cannot speak because of her non-subject status. [...]it is the duty of both the “female intellectual” and more broadly, the postcolonial theorist, to reconstruct history from the viewpoint of the marginalized, as Hemans attempts in “The Indian City.” Hemans’s imagined poetic solidarity in Records features nineteen poems with women protagonists from history and contemporary life, including Joan of Arc, Lady Arabella Stuart, Italian sculptress Properzia Rossi, an unnamed Native American woman, and Indian war leader, Maimuna. Through Maimuna’s complicated representation and the uncharacteristic tetrameter, Hemans yokes together form/content experimentation to pose a new type of intersectionality for individual and collective feminist solidarity.
