'I am inclined to think that we want new forms . . . as well as
thoughts', confessed Elizabeth Barrett to Robert Browning in 1845.
The Oxford Handbook of Victorian Poetry provides a closely-read
appreciation of the vibrancy and variety of Victorian poetic forms,
and attends to poems as both shaped and shaping forces. The volume
is divided into four main sections. The first section on 'Form'
looks at a few central innovations and engagements-'Rhythm',
'Beat', 'Address', 'Rhyme', 'Diction', 'Syntax', and 'Story'. The
second section, 'Literary Landscapes', examines the traditions and
writers (from classical times to the present day) that influence
and take their bearings from Victorian poets. The third section
provides 'Readings' of twenty-three poets by concentrating on
particular poems or collections of poems, offering focused, nuanced
engagements with the pleasures and challenges offered by particular
styles of thinking and writing. The final section, 'The Place of
Poetry', conceives and explores 'place' in a range of ways in order
to situate Victorian poetry within broader contexts and
discussions: the places in which poems were encountered; the poetic
representation and embodiment of various sites and spaces; the
location of the 'Victorian' alongside other territories and
nationalities; and debates about the place - and displacement - of
poetry in Victorian society. This Handbook is designed to be not
only an essential resource for those interested in Victorian poetry
and poetics, but also a landmark publication-provocative, seminal
volume that will offer a lasting contribution to future studies in
the area.
