The book challenges traditional perceptions of eighteenth-century poetry by expanding the canon to include overlooked women poets, laboring-class voices, and regional writers. It questions established literary structures and categories, presenting a diverse array of works alongside well-known poets. By emphasizing individual voices and their contexts, it reveals a vibrant poetic landscape that reflects the dynamic cultural shifts of the era.
