First published in 1969, this edition collection brings together a
series of essays offering a re-evaluation of Victorian poetry in
the light of early 20th Century criticism. The essays in this
collection concentrate upon the poets whose reputations suffered
from the great redirection of energy in English criticism initiated
in this century by Eliot, Richards and Leavis. What theses poets
wrote about, the values they expressed, the form of the poems, the
language they used, all these were examined and found wanting in
some radical way. One of the results of this criticism was the
renewal of interest in metaphysical and eighteenth-century poetry
and corresponding ebb of enthusiasm for Romantic poetry and for
Victorian poetry in particular. Most of the essays in this book
take as their starting point questions raised by the debate on
Victorian poetry, both earlier in this century and in the more
recent past. There are essays on the poetry of Tennyson, Browning
and Arnold, on that of Clough, who until recently has been
neglected, and Hopkins, because of, rather than in spite of, the
fact that he is usually considered to be a modern poet. The volume
is especially valuable in that it will give a clearer understanding
of the nature of Victorian poetry, concentrating as it does on
those areas of a poet's work where critical discussion seems most
necessary.
