Riding's poetry in the Theory of Gynocriticism

Abstract

Laura Riding Jackson is one of the influential poets of the early twentieth century in America. As a matter of fact, it is for her poetry, however, that Riding is best known, and her poems reflect her commitment to write with truth. In the other words, she knows poetry a process of a degree of awareness to recognize the capacity to know selfhood. Further, her accuracy as a writer lies in her extreme seriousness about the act of writing poems, with no attention to the outside. Nevertheless, the critics know her poems as a game, not something valuable to consider. Therefore, in the heart of traditional poetic language of masculinity, she continues her way of 'female phase' of Showalter, toward poetic history. Showalter's gynocritism is a framework for women in which a woman can judge a woman's literature womanly. Present research is looking at Laura Riding Jackson's some poems through Showalter's cultural view of 'female phase' of her gynocriticism.
