The practice of poetry in the Victorian period was characterised by
an extreme diversity of styles, preoccupations and subject-matter.
This anthology attempts to draw out some of the main focuses of
interest in the Victorian poet. No Victorian poet produced an
overall theory of poetry, yet all accepted it as a natural vehicle
of expression, and for some subjects, in particular sexuality, the
only literary mode. Indeed, the sexual question was made even more
acute by the sudden phenomenon of the 'poetess', and the relation
of poetry to gender raised interesting new critical questions. At
the same time, the cultural role of the poet came under increasing
debate: Victorian poetry was the first contemporary poetry to be
studied. This selection of central texts illustrates these
pressures on the Victorian practice of poetry, and the introductory
remarks suggest ways in which theory can be related to the
understanding key poems themselves.
