Research and criticism focused on nineteenth- and twentieth-century literature in English, feminist theory, and women's studies. She wrote on the female literary tradition as well as on British and American modernism, with special emphasis on poetry, and she edited or co-edited several literary anthologies. In addition, she published six volumes of her own verse, a book-length memoir, and a number of personal essays. Her later projects dealt with the interconnections of poetry, mourning, and modernity.
