Victorian Poetry: An Anthology - Paperback

by Erik Gray (Editor), Veronica Alfano (Editor)

Back Jacket

The first new anthology of its kind in twenty years, Victorian Poetry provides generous selections of poetry both by well-known Victorian poets (Alfred Tennyson, Robert Browning, Christina Rossetti) and by writers who have received less critical attention (Constance Naden, Toru Dutt, Grace Aguilar). Detailed annotations, substantial biographies, and an introduction outlining major literary and historical trends of the Victorian period ensure that the anthology will be useful both for specialists and for students encountering these poems for the first time. A companion website features additional poetry, selections of critical prose, and four appendices that group together poems related by genre, geography, or subject.
