- Michael Field, 2010:CIP t.p. (edited by Sarah Parker and Ana Parejo Vadilla) publisher's summary (""In the last twenty years, Michael Field has emerged as one of the most fascinating poets of the Victorian era. Through their collaborative partnership as "Michael Field," Katharine Bradley and Edith Cooper engaged in the aesthetic and decadent movements of the fin de siècle, while their poetry and verse drama articulate ideas associated with the New Woman and boldly express queer and lesbian desire. Michael Field: Decadent Moderns extends the focus on these key literary and cultural contexts by emphasizing their continuing significance within twentieth-century literary modernism") introduction ("Katharine Bradley . . . her beloved niece and life partner Edith Cooper, with whom she wrote and published under the pseudonym “Michael Field”; Katharine Harris Bradley . . . had one older sister, Emma Harris Bradley, her senior by eleven years. Since her sister was frail and often in poor health, Bradley and her mother (also Emma Harris Bradley) moved to Kenilworth to live with Emma and her husband, James Robert Cooper. In 1862, Emma gave birth to a daughter, Edith Emma Cooper")

Wikipedia description:
Michael Field was a pseudonym used for the poetry and verse drama of the English authors Katherine Harris Bradley (27 October 1846 – 26 September 1914) and her niece and ward Edith Emma Cooper (12 January 1862 – 13 December 1913). As Field, they wrote around 40 works together, and a long journal Works and Days. Their intention was to keep the pen-name secret, but it became public knowledge, not long after they had confided in their friend Robert Browning.
