mothers in poetry  

Definición

  • Before the 20th century, mothers in poetry were usually characterized in two opposing ways: as absent or perfect. The vast majority of poets who wrote about mothers during this time did not portray mothers as real women, but rather as symbols of mourning or idealization.
