Farmer's 
Bride 


Charlotte 
Mew 


The Farmer's Bride is a collection of 28 poems by British modernist writer Charlotte Mew. 
Mews poetry is varied in style and content and manifests a strong interest in love, longing, 
death, and nature. Mew's life was marked by loneliness and depression, and she eventually 
committed suicide. Her work earned her the admiration of her peers, including Virginia Woolf, 
who characterized her as "very good and quite unlike anyone else."
