Victorian Verse: The Poetics of Everyday Life
Editat de Lee Behlman, Olivia Loksing Moyen Limba Engleză Hardback – 5 aug 2023
Victorian Verse: The Poetics of Everyday Life casts new light on nineteenth-century poetry by examining the period through its popular verse forms and their surrounding social and media landscape. The volume offers insight into two central concepts of both the Victorian era and our own—status and taste—and how cultural hierarchies then and now were and are constructed and broken. By recovering the lost diversity of Victorian verse, the book maps the breadth of Victorian writing and reading practices, illustrating how these seemingly minor verse genres actually possessed crucial social functions for Victorians, particularly in education, leisure practices, the cultural production of class, and the formation of individual and communal identities. The essays consider how “major” Victorian poets, such as the Pre-Raphaelites, were also committed to writing and reading “minor” verse, further troubling the clear-cut notions of canonicity by examining the contradictions of value.

Textul de pe ultima copertă
“This exhilarating collection opens up crucial glimpses into the widely and even wildly disparate historical and theoretical practices of Victorian poetic studies in our time. With its revelatory showcasing of the forms and forces of “mere verse,” this is a volume to relish and debate."
—Tricia Lootens, Josiah Meigs Distinguished Teaching Professor of English emerita, University of Georgia
“This wonderful volume gives us a new way to comprehend Victorian poetry. Specifically, it expands the field of Victorian poetry studies by reminding us of the period’s rich terrain of verse forms… The Introduction clearly and elegantly lays out the issues -- and it is a pleasure to read, as are the individual essays collected here, written by many of the greatest critics of Victorian poetry writing today."
—Carolyn Williams, Distinguished Professor of English, Rutgers University
“While Victorian Verse addresses major poets, particularly Christina Rossetti, it also shows how verse punctuated factory life, occupied physical space, filled periodicals, and wove into worship.…[This book] successfully gives readers a stirring new sense of a heretofore underestimated genre, and anyone who cares about Victorian daily life will find revelatory ideas in this collection.”
— Talia Schaffer, Professor of English, CUNY Graduate Center & Queens College
