Anna Seward's “Colebrook Dale” is the first known account of the locale to figure industrial activity associated with the famous ironworks as a sexual violation of the landscape. Seward's poem challenges masculine narratives of providential and progressive history as it enters into dialogue with earlier topographical poems (such as Milton's Comus, Pope's Windsor-Forest, and Erasmus Darwin's Botanic Garden) and translates their mythic images of rape into an implicit argument against the industrial degradation of Colebrook Dale. Although Seward's nascent ecofeminist consciousness is finally a very selective one, privileging “beauteous” Colebrook Dale at the expense of her “unpoetic” sisters, the tutelary role she assumes as a speaking genius loci marks a significant intervention in the masculine loco-descriptive tradition. |
