The first standard edition of the writings of Felicia Hemans (1793-1835), this volume marks a revival of interest in, and a new critical appreciation of, one of the most important literary figures of the early nineteenth century. A best-selling poet in England and America, Felicia Hemans was regarded as a leading female poet in her day, celebrated as the epitome of national "feminine" values. However, this same narrow perception of her work eventually relegated Hemans to obscurity lightened occasionally by parody and a sentimental enthusiasm for poems such as "The Landing of the Pilgrim Fathers" and "Casabianca."

Opening with the revolution-era debates of the 1790s, Borderlines reads Romantic genders across a mobile syntax, tuned to such figures as the stylized "feminine" poetess, the aberrant "masculine" woman, male poets deemed "feminine" or "unmanly," the campy male "effeminate," and hapless or strategic cross-dressers of both sexes.

Wolfson also edited a book about Felicia Hemans, a leading female poet in England and the United States during the Romantic era. Felicia Hemans: Selected Poems, Letters, and Reception Materials contains five of her major works; letters written by Hemans that reveal her thoughts on her poetry and the poetry of others, information about her publishers, her celebrity status, and more; and letters written about Hemans by individuals, such as Lord Byron and Walter Scott.
