Abstract:
This volume explores the history, functions and forms of poetry in Victorian England. It examines the syntax, rhyme, rhythm and metre in Victorian poetry and describes different types of poems and poetry publishing. It also analyses the works of several Victorian poets including Gerard Manley Hopkins, James Thomson, A. E. Housman, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Augusta Webster, Christian Rossetti and Michael Field. This volume also examines how church-going, music and arts were reflected in Victorian poetry.
