Correction

In "Becoming a Land Girl: Reprinting Alice Meynell's 'The Shepherdess' in the Landswoman" (VPR 50, no. 2 [2017]), Birgit Van Puymbroeck writes that Meynell's poem "The Girl of the Land" was not published in the Landswoman and assumes that the poem mentioned by Viola Meynell as having appeared in the "little magazine concerned with the land-workers" is "The Shepherdess." The author has since discovered that Meynell's poems "The Land" and "The Girl of the Land" were also published in the Landswoman, respectively in the December 1919 and the December 1920 issues. These issues are not included in ProQuest's database Trench Journals and Unit Magazines of the First World War, which was used as a main resource for the research. The publication of these poems in the Landswoman confirms Meynell's connection with the Women's Land Army. It also underscores the Landswoman's complex negotiation of femininity and Meynell's double authorial identity as professional writer and angel in the house. [End Page 436]
