The works of women poets in English Romantic criticism have been dismissed as unimportant because they failed to conform to the paradigms defined by those of canonical male poets. However, recent interest in women writers has seen an increase in critical essays or the achievements of female poets. Women's poems are considered to have different poetic values compared with the canonized texts written by male poets. Several women poets of the Romantic Period (1780 1830) were engaged in contemporary social and moral issues alongside with the French Revolution. They tried to represent their social awareness through, for example, anti-slavery poems that attempted to show the similarities between the oppression of slaves and that of women.
Amelia Opie (1769-1853) was aware of the plight of African slaves in the British colonies at the beginning of the 19th century. Opie, a Quaker, vehemently opposed the slave trade, campaigning actively for its abolition. Her first influential abolitionist poem was "The Negro Boy's Tale", in 1802, which, five years later, helped reinforce the final Abolition Bill in British Parliament; and her second "The Black Man's Lament", in 1826, which anticipated The Great Emancipation Act of 1833 and followed the creation the of the Anti-Slavery Society in 1823.
Opie's effective poetic strategy, of the active first person voice of a slave, successfully reminds readers of the true nature of slavery in "The Negro Boy's Tale". Opie portrays the complex nature of the slavery question through the characters' dialogue. In "The Black Man's Lament", Opie, again, skillfully positions the reader to witness the tragedy of becoming a slave, through the juxtapostion of 3rd and 1st person narratives, aptly allowing readers to enter into the slavery debate as an active participant. Opie's poems legitimize her conscious involvement concerning the abolition of slavery. If we are to comprehend the full range of English Romanticism, then, it is necessary for us to recognize the poetic value of women poets like Amelia Opie.
