In the years covered by this volume high Victorian poetry reached
it's prolific peak and stimulated a corresponding abundance of
critical comment. As poets turned to new themes and new modes of
presenting them, critics sought to redifine the function of poetry
in their time and nowhere with greater immediacy and sense of the
cultural issues at stake than in the periodicals. Two occasions
when discussion was particularly lively - in relation to Tennyson's
early poems and Arnold's 1853 Preface - are here used by Dr.
Armstrong as focal points and with them in mind she has selected
and annotated thirteen substantial reviews, principally devoted to
the poetry of Tennyson, Browning, Arnold and Clough. Dr.
Armstrong's own long Introduction serves equally as an
indispensable preliminary guide to the fundamentals of Victorian
criticism and as an authoritative summing-up of the debate on
poetics conducted at large in the body of the book by the
Victorians themselves. Detailed bibliographies for further reading
are provided at the end of each main section.
