In papers such as Krista Lysack's "Emily Bronte's Wind Power," Melissa Gregory's paper on Frances Watkins Harper, "Slavery and The Ballad," and Tricia Lootens's paper on abolition time in Toru Dutt, "Looking Beyond (and Before) Ancient Ballads," as well as the several papers thinking about Elizabeth Barrett Browning and new modes of reading, women's poetry and women's power was a not-so-subtle sub-theme of the conference for the Victorian Poetry crowd. Each paper moves our critical perspective away from its expected location, looks outward toward different horizons, and, in doing so, changes how we think of power-and the power of reading-altogether. Since the publication of "Lyrical Studies" by Virginia Jackson and Yopie Prins in 1999, scholars have reinvigorated their understanding of the figure of the Poetess and the genre of the lyric. Caolan Madden's reading recasts Aurora Leigh as a commentary not only on the Poetess, but also on the dangerous theatrics of being present at your own performance and being exposed, and what risks Barrett Browning's poem thematizes when we read it in the context of its complicated relationship to a perceived theatrical audience. Not so the young women in Hylas and the Nymphs (1896), the subject of controversy in February 2018 when the Manchester Art Gallery removed the painting for seven days in order to encourage debate about how sexualized images of teenage girls should be displayed.
