Abstract / Summary

Frances Bellerby, a poet who lived and worked in Cornwall for some of her life, then in Devon, suffered a crippling illness for much of her adult life. This, combined with her lifelong sense of tragedy and loss of her brother in 1916, is expressed in a desire for perfection of form, and this paper argues that such a desire is carefully worked out in Bellerby's manipulation of poetic form in particular.
