  • ... that Emily Manning used a poetic dialogue between a husband and his clairvoyant wife to examine Victorian gender roles?
  • Source: Webby, Elizabeth (1988). "Some Nineteenth-Century Women Poets". In Adelaide, Debra (ed.). A Bright and Fiery Troop: Australian Women Writers of the Nineteenth Century. Ringwood: Penguin Books. pp. 41–52. ISBN 978-0-14-011238-2. Its hero, Theodore, complains about his hard lot but is taught acceptance by his wife Agatha. A clairvoyant, she conjures up scenes from many other lives to demonstrate that he is not alone in his pain. and Hansord, Katie (2021). "Emily Manning: Spiritualism and Periodical Print Culture: 1860–80". Colonial Australian Women Poets: Political Voice and Feminist Traditions. New York: Anthem Press. pp. 111–138. ISBN 9781785272691. In attributing to the wife a defence of religious faith, Manning's poem falls in line with the common practice of representing a split between religious and political (or rationalist) discourses in gendered terms. However, in approaching poetic voice through dramatic dialogue, Manning's poem encompasses discourses outside the acceptably feminine space of domestic ideology and engages in what Murphy argues was an ethical religious crisis in the nineteenth century... Particularly, Manning's use of theatrical dialogue in this poem, in which the husband and wife are engaged in debate around theological discourses, suggests the significance of these themes to gender roles around motherhood and marriage.

     New enough (5x expansion), long enough, presentable. Reliable sources used throughout and cited inline. Copyvio Detector comes back clear. Hook is interesting, cited appropriately and confirmed by the source. QPQ done. No image submitted with the nomination but, if added, the image from the article's infobox is appropriately licensed and clear at small size and is thus approved for use on DYK. Good work!
