“…Jill Ehnenn notes how this volume "urges us to consider how, in negotiating the constraints of the sex/gender system of their time, women such as Michael Field anticipated feminist and queer strategies of seeing and being in the world that are only beginning to be explored today" (Ehnenn 2008, 74). Ana Vadillo has also used this volume and ekphrastic theory to discuss questions of distance and transport in Field's aesthetic (Vadillo 2005). An online digital edition of Field's "St. Sebastian" that includes animated GIFs and hyperlinks, and its creators' meditation on its meanings, brings Field studies into the concerns of the present moment: a digital reproduction of a poem from Sight and Song reflects on culture, the fair use of cultural objects, referentiality, and visualityjust as does Sight and Song itself (Gallagher and Vadillo 2015).…”

This article discusses the work of Michael Field (the joint pseudonym of Katharine Bradley and her niece Edith Cooper). It examines their collaboration and their publication history by focusing on the three distinct genres in which they published so prolifically: lyric poetry, poetic drama, and life writing. Michael Field's experimentalism is assessed, and they are placed as avant‐garde writers of the period.

There’s Something about Murray: Victorian Literary Societies and Alfred Forman’s Translation of Richard Wagner’sDer Ring des Nibelungen

Alfred Forman’s translations of Richard Wagner’s operas are often derided for their weird diction and minute imitation of German poetic devices. Forman has seemed to represent a zealous and uncritical approach to Wagner that was typical of the early London Wagner Society. But London’s literary societies were important preprofessional gatherings for the appreciation and research of vernacular literature at a time when universities restricted who could study and what could be studied. Forman contributed to other London societies and organized for them dramatic readings of Wagner’s poetry featuring Forman’s wife, Alma Murray. In making Wagner legible and audible for these societies, Forman aligned Wagner with contemporary radical poets and promoted the Ring as a political allegory. Forman’s translations, far from cranky or cultish, show how Victorian society culture affected translation practices, renewed study of poetic alliteration, and inaugurated the political interpretation of Wagner’s works.
