Abstract:
'Novel-Poetry' examines the verse-novel - a hybrid genre that emerged in the middle decades of Britain's nineteenth century - to make a larger claim about the nature of genre and formal structures for time, action, and identity that cross genres. The volume uncovers trajectories of literary influence that structure our approach to literature and affect how we shape our lives, lives which are often constrained by cause-and-effect and narrative-driven ways of approaching time and possibility
