This "Companion" brings together specially commissioned essays by
distinguished international scholars that reflect both the
diversity of Victorian poetry and the variety of critical
approaches that illuminate it. The volume opens with an
introductory essay on Victorian poetics by Carol Christ that offers
a commanding overview of the whole period. The remaining
contributions are organized into three parts. The first surveys the
variety of schools and styles in Victorian poetry; in the second,
the focus shifts from the form and content of the poetry to the
means of its production and distribution; the final part positions
Victorian verse in its contexts and explores its interactions with
dominant cultural discourses. The "Companion" as a whole does more
than map the existing state of scholarship in the field; it sets
out an agenda for future research.
