The Victorian poetry of sexual love between men and women has not
been as fully studied as other components of the imaginative
literature of the period, and some of the attention it has received
has been more concerned with the society and ideology of the age
than with the poetry or the love. This study attempts an integrated
account of the three elements, with particular emphasis on the
close reading of poems. Chapters are devoted to the distinguishing
features of Victorian love poetry; Browning's dramatic lyrics;
Tennyson's Maud and the lyrics from Princess; women poets (Barrett
Browning, Christina Rossetti and Emily Dickinson); Clough's three
long poems of contemporary life, Meredith's Modern Love; the lyrics
written by Morris and Dante Rossetti during the late 1860s and
early 1870s, when the latter was conducting an affair with Morris'
wife; and two elegiac sequences, the bereavement odes from
Patmore's Unknown Eros and Hardy's Poems of 1912-13. A final
chapter uses the love poetry of D H Lawrence to point up
continuities between Victorian and later love poetry.
