"The Erotic Beyond": Sexuality in Emily Dickinson's and Christina Rossetti's Poetry

Abstract

The text concentrates on the erotic dephts of Emily Dickinson's and Christina Rossetti's poetry, especially concerning the layer of preverse and sadistic emotions. The magical world and the supernatural context created in their poems foreshadow a particular female poetic universe, where the female voice is transgressive and outstanding, highly diverging from the culturally and socially accepted levels.
