The poetics of sensibility has been long ignored out of a blind defense of the classical tradition. However, a careful reconsideration is in order. The poetics of sensibility developed new modes of expression through opposing the traditional view of reason, by suggesting that it could no longer serve a truly rational mind. Philosophers, such as David Hume and Adam Smith defined reason as inactive, because it can never be a source of the conscience or moral. However, "sensibility," as a very powerful emotional principle in human nature, has a great influence on our judgment of beauty and morals. Thus, morality and emotion are directly connected with the poetics of sensibility. In the poetics of sensibility, a person's value is defined by neither social position nor even accomplishment, but by their capacity for feeling. The poetry of sensibility is basically a literature of an expression of "spontaneous feeling" of the heart. In the last part of the 18th century, it poured from women's emotional experiences on the margins of culture, especially in the outlying provinces. Ann Yearsley incorporated the language of sensibility into her work though she was doubly disadvantaged in the literary world; she was a woman without formal education. In Yearsley's poems, sensibility takes the form of an endless emotional struggle between herself and her privileged supporters, especially the overzealous support of Hannah More. Anna Barbauld challenges male dominated values with shadowy meaning at its core by showing a portrayal of alienated sensibility through the description of daily details. Barbauld's poetic sensibility is developed into moral sensibility by conscience and sympathy. In the poetics of sensibility, the aim of art is to affect through sympathy and not by imitation. Women poets are sympathetic to distress and victimization, with a profound emotion of being themselves dispossessed. Women poets' poetics of sensibility is radical in that it favors reform through its emphasis on victims, and questions the established hierarchies of birth and gender. Women poets created poetry in a time limited by the dominion of male values, and in doing so sought an appropriate medium to allow readers to step out of the logical confines of the mind into the feeling sensibilities of the heart.

This study aims at examining the anti-slavery discourse written by the early 19th-century women writers. Based on their own moral sensibility and Christian belief of non-Anglican Church, these early romantic women writers strongly advocated abolitionism and were involved in anti-slavery activities, such as writing pamphlets and joining anti-slavery groups. However, their writings have been ignored for a long time, overpowered by 'major' male writers of Romanticism. Thus this study tries to shed light on these women writers and discuss their importance in the literary history. The study will discuss why the anti-slavery discourse was an important issue among the women writers. In the late 18th century, women were beginning to recognize their inferior social status and naturally identified themselves with the slaves. The French Revolution which emphasized equality of humankind had strong impact on them. Mary Wollstonecraft and Helen Maria Williams experienced the Revolution in France and put their experiences into the writing advocating the rights of women and the socially weak people. Based on their religious belief, Hannah More and Ann Yearsley wrote poems attacking the slave trade. Their naive attitude toward Christianity, which tacitly approved slavery in spite of its belief in the equality of human beings, may be problematic. Their poems are significant, however, as an official beginning of antislavery discourse by women. Women poets' attack upon the slavery and advocation of the oppressed is further developed by poets such as Anna Barbauld, Helen Maria Williams and Amelia Opie. On the other hand, Harriet Martineau wrote an anti-slavery novel "Demerara." As a popular pamphlet writer of the time, Martineau was influential in the antislavery movement of the United States. "Demerara," written as a part of John Stuart Mill's Illustrations of Political Economy contains a scientific and systematic criticism of slavery. "Demerara" puts the colonized West Indies into the foreground of the novel and enlists the reasons the slavery should be abolished. In addition to the touching story of the hardships of a slave family, she analyzes the disadvantages of slavery in terms of political economy. Romantic women writers' anti-slavery writing ranging from poems to novel contains a distinctive voice different from that of male writers. Recognizing their social status inferior to men's, these women writers sought to correct the discrimination against them. Their concern about the socially oppressed people can be understood in this context. Though silenced as a radical voice and ignored as minor writers for a long time, women writers of the 19th century should be reilluminated from the postcolonial viewpoint. They provide valuable assets to Romanticism as a newly found voice resisting the social ills and upholding the silent others in society.

Generally the earlier poems of Felicia Hemans can be seen to justify the existing social order, insistently celebrating the gleeful home and representing women as sustaining the private realm. However, her subtext surprisingly reveals that Hemans’s heroines suffer from the sense of loss and absence of love in the domestic sphere of the nineteenth century. The later religious poems of Hemans are striking for their support of spiritual diversity, spiritual themes, and even new concepts of women’s status. Especially in the “Sonnet: Female Characters of Scripture” published in 1834, Hemans finds a platform for presenting religion as a source of empowerment for women. Throughout these sonnets, Hemans claims the power of biblical women for herself, her writing, and the positions of women. (Dongseo University)
