Critical comment

[edit]

This article contains unreferenced deprecatory remarks, which I assume come from the original Britannica article. I have not removed these because they seem to me to be fairly reasonable, but they give an unbalanced view (after all Keats produced many false archaisms, which don't get mentioned). I have therefore taken the liberty of inserting something more positive, though similarly unreferenced. I have also amended the biographical section. Both changes are based on the section on Jean Ingelow in Nineteenth-century Women Poets, an Oxford Anthology ed Armstrong and Bristow, OUP 1996. I know this is not what Wikipedia would want, but let someone else do better. --Martin Wyatt (talk) 20:29, 7 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've revised the section on her Collected Poetry, and renamed it 'Criticism' as this is the major thrust of the section. Tried to remove unsourced opinion, but it could likely use a second edit Jasonpgignac (talk) 20:50, 2 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
