Victorian Poetry Biografía y Hechos
Adelaide Anne Procter (Londres, 30 de octubre de 1825 – íd., 2 de febrero de 1864) fue una poetisa y filántropa británica. Trabajó en beneficio de un gran número de causas, principalmente para las mujeres sin empleo y para las personas sin hogar, fue activista a favor del feminismo y se desempeñó como periodista en varios periódicos. Procter jamás contrajo matrimonio, y algunas de sus poesías han llevado a pensar que pudo haber sido lesbiana.[1] Tuvo una pésima salud, posiblemente debido al trabajo caritativo, falleciendo de tuberculosis a los 38 años de edad. La carrera literaria de Procter comenzó cuando era adolescente; sus poemas se publicaban principalmente en los periódicos de Charles Dickens, Household Words y All the Year Round, y más tarde en formato de libro. Sus obras de caridad y su conversión al catolicismo parecen haber influenciado fuertemente su poesía, cuyas temáticas solían relacionarse con la condición de vivir en la calle, con la pobreza y con las mujeres perdidas. Procter era la poetisa favorita de la Reina Victoria. Sus poesías fueron editadas varias veces durante el siglo XIX; Coventry Patmore la describió como la poetisa más popular de la época después de Lord Tennyson.[2] A sus poemas se les añadió música y se los convirtió en himnos, y fueron publicados en los Estados Unidos y en Alemania además de Inglaterra. De cualquier manera, a principios del siglo XX su reputación disminuyó considerablemente y pocos críticos modernos han puesto atención a sus obras. Los que lo han hecho, sin embargo, aseguran que son significativas, en parte porque revela la forma en que las mujeres victorianas expresaban sus sentimientos, de otra forma reprimidos. Biografía Primeros años Adelaide Anne Procter nació en el 25 de Bedford Square en el distrito londinense de Bloomsbury el 30 de octubre de 1825, hija del poeta y dramaturgo Bryan Waller Procter (más conocido por su seudónimo Barry Cornwall) y de su esposa Anne Skepper.[2][3] La familia tenía mucha relación con la literatura: la novelista Elizabeth Gaskell solía visitar frecuentemente la casa de los Procter,[4] el padre de Adelaide era amigo del poeta Leigh Hunt, del ensayista Charles Lamb y del famoso novelista Charles Dickens,[5] y conocían al poeta William Wordsworth[6] y al crítico William Hazlitt.[7] Bessie Raynor Belloc, un amigo de la familia, escribió en 1895 que «todas las personas que tenían alguna pretensión literaria parecían vivir entrando y saliendo de la casa. Los Kemble, los Macready, los Rossetti, los Dickens, los Thackeray, nunca parecían ser exactamente visitantes, sino que pertenecían a la casa».[8] La escritora y actriz Fanny Kemble escribió que la joven Procter «parecía una niña poetisa, y una poeta... [con] una expresión demasiado pensativa y triste para una niña tan pequeña».[4] Dickens comentó la inteligencia temprana de Procter. Para él, la joven Adelaide comprendía sin dificultad los asuntos a los que dedicaba su atención: Como lectora ávida,[9] Procter fue en gran medida autodidacta; sin embargo, cursó estudios superiores en el Queen’s College de Londres en Harley Street en el año 1850.[2] La universidad había sido fundada dos años antes, en 1848, por Frederick Maurice, un socialista cristiano; a la facultad también asistían el novelista Charles Kingsley, el compositor John Hullah y el escritor Henry Morley.[10] Comienzos en la poesía y el activismo Procter demostró un amor por la poesía desde muy pequeña. Tenía, de niña, «un pequeño álbum en donde su madre le copiaba a mano sus pasajes favoritos, ya que la pequeña no sabía escribir... en lugar de una muñeca, como tendría cualquier otra niña pequeña en su lugar».[9] Procter publicó su primer poema cuando aún era una adolescente; el poema, «Ministering Angels», apareció en Heath's Book of Beauty en 1843.[2] En 1853 envió su obra al periódico de Dickens Household Words bajo el seudónimo «Mary Berwick», con la esperanza de que su obra fuese juzgada por su propio mérito en vez de por la amistad de Dickens con su padre;[11] Dickens no descubrió la identidad de «Berwick» hasta el año siguiente.[12] La publicación del poema dio comienzo a la larga asociación de Procter con los periódicos de Dickens; en total, la autora publicó setenta y tres poemas en Household Words y siete poemas en All the Year Round,[2] la mayor parte de los cuales se incluyó en sus primeros dos volúmenes de poesía, titulados Legends and Lyrics. También publicó algunas de sus obras en Good Words y en Cornhill.[9] Además de dedicarse a la poesía, Procter fue la editora del periódico Victoria Regia, el cual se convirtió en la joya de la Victoria Press, «una empresa dedicada especialmente a las publicaciones feministas».[13] En 1851,[14] Procter se convirtió al catolicismo.[5] Luego de haber tomado esta decisión, se volvió extremadamente activa en varias causas solidarias y feministas. Pasó a ser miembro del Grupo de Langham Place, el cual tenía como objetivo mejorar las condiciones para las mujeres, y trabó amistad con las feministas Bessie Raynor Parkes (más tarde Bessie Raynor Belloc) y Barbara Leigh Smith, posteriormente Barbara Bodichon.[5] Procter ayudó a fundar el English Women's Journal en 1858 y, en 1859, la Sociedad para la Promoción del Empleo de la Mujer,[2] ambos focalizados en la expansión de la economía femenina y de sus oportunidades de empleo. Aunque sobre el papel era meramente una integrante del montón, su compañera activista Jessie Boucherett consideró a Adelaide como el «espíritu alegre» de la Sociedad.[15] Su tercer volumen de poesía, A Chaplet of Verses (1861), se publicó para el beneficio de un refugio nocturno católico para mujeres y niños que había sido fundado en 1860 en Providence Row, en el East End londinense.[16] Vida personal y últimos años Procter se comprometió para casarse en 1858, según una carta que su amigo William Makepeace Thackeray le escribió a sus hijas ese año. Sin embargo, aún no se conoce la identidad del prometido de Procter, y el matrimonio jamás se concretó.[17] Según su biógrafo alemán Ferdinand Janku, el compromiso parece haber durado varios años antes de que el prometido de Procter lo rompiera.[18] El crítico Gill Gregory sugiere que Procter puede haber sido lesbiana y haber estado enamorada de Matilda Hays, una compañera activista de la Sociedad para la Promoción del Empleo de la Mujer;[1] otros críticos han catalogado a la relación de Procter con Hays como «emocionalmente intensa».[19] El primer volumen de poesía de Procter, Legends and Lyrics (1858) le fue dedicado a Hays y ese mismo año Adelaide escribió un poema titulado «To M.M.H.» («Para M.M.H.»)[20] en el cual Procter «expresa amor por Hays... [Hays era] novelista y traductora de las obras de George Sand, y una figura controvertida… [quien] se vestía con ropa de hombre y había vivido con la escultora Harriet Hosmer en Roma antes en la década de 1850».[1] Aunque muchos hombres demostraron interés en ella, Procter jamás ....
