Charlotte Mary Mew (1869–1928) was a British poet whose work spanned the Victorian and modernist periods. Her first collection, The Farmer’s Bridge, was published by Harold Monro’s Poetry Bookshop in 1916; a second collection, The Rambling Sailor, was published posthumously by the same in 1929. Though Mew opted to publish fairly infrequently in life, her work is notable for its rich dramatic monologues, attention to the plights of the outcast and bereaved, and progressive feminist orientation, aspects that earned Mew praise from many of the most prominent writers of her era, including Thomas Hardy, Virginia Woolf, and Ezra Pound.
