Before we reveal our first batch of winners, letโs get to know this mysterious author!
โ I am known by a single name, yet the sum of my life is two. My published works appeared in forty-three volumes, but my public output, if divided by two, is wrong. Who am I?โ
โI am Michael Field. A joint pen name created by two Victorian women, Katherine Harris Bradley (1842) with her niece-lover and Edith Emma Cooper (1864). As Field, they co-composed eight volumes of poetry and 27 verse-dramas, as well as two-dozen volumes of journals entitled Works and Days. Their pieces explored le***an and womenโs literature that challenged gender norms and cultural expectations during the late 19th-century Britain โ leaving a peculiar legacy in English Literature.
The alias โ Michael Field โ was rooted from their desire to go against expectations set for women in a patriarchal society. Their identity was later on revealed after they had confided in their good friend, Robert Browning. Some of their significant works are Long Ago (1889), Sight and Song (1892), Fair Rosamund (1884), and more.
Let us triumph and speak in good cheer for the five keen minds who we hereby declare as winners:
Mariano
Claude Tuyay
