In Rhythm and Will in Victorian Poetry, first published in 1999,
Matthew Campbell explores the work of four Victorian poets -
Tennyson, Browning, Hopkins and Hardy - as they show a consistent
and innovative concern with questions of human agency and will. The
Victorians saw the virtues attendant upon a strong will as central
to themselves and to their culture, and Victorian poetry strove to
find an aesthetic form to represent this sense of the human will.
Through close study of the metre, rhyme and rhythm of a wide range
of poems - including monologue, lyric and elegy - Campbell reveals
how closely technical questions of poetics are related, in the work
of these poets, to issues of psychology, ethics and social change.
He goes on to discuss more general questions of poetics, and the
implications of the achievement of the Victorian poets in a wider
context, from Milton through Romanticism and into contemporary
critical debate.
