Beschreibung
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. * Approaches Victorian poetry by way of genre, production and cultural context, rather than through individual poets or poems * Demonstrates how a particular poet or poem emerges from a number of overlapping cultural contexts. * Explores the relationships between work by different poets * Recalls attention to a considerable body of poetry that has fallen into neglect * Essays are informed by recent developments in textual and cultural theory * Considers Victorian women poets in every chapter
Rezensionen
"Yet overall, and at its best, it provides what few critical books can offer: a highly readable, even rollicking account of the whole era, as variegated and lively as Victorian poetry itself."
"[A] comprehensive, challenging picture of Victorian poetry emerges when reading the entire collection of essays.... A feast of information."
"The essays within are excellent. I think it an indispensable book. The essays address the multifariousness of Victorian poetry, and the variety of critical and theoretical issues; in addition, they give the reader a sense of the marketing and reception of the poetry."
"Scholars will want to own this book.... Highly recommended."
"A rich diversity of distinguished and learned scholars, mostly from North America and the UK, have combined in this singularly impressive and important volume, to provide what for many might at first sight seem to be an almost impossible harvest: fresh and original essays on carefully selected aspects of the poetry of Victorian England."
"Nicely affordable for the wealth of insights contained therein. Contains some fresh research.... This companion will not sit on the shelf and collect dust, but [will] be useful for both scholarly and entertaining reading."
"Not only is the Companion brimming with fine arguments--there are far too many essays that warrant notice than can possibly be picked out in a short review--but it is also very well put together as a collection. Its clear table of contents and fulsome index make it easy to negotiate. Each essay is, moreover, followed by a generous list of references and suggested further reading."
