Working Verse in Victorian Scotland: Poetry, Press, Community de Kirstie Blair

Working Verse in Victorian Scotland: Poetry, Press, Community

Autor Kirstie Blair
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 27 iun 2019
This volume reassesses working-class poetry and poetics in Victorian Britain, using Scotland as a focus and with particular attention to the role of the popular press in fostering and disseminating working-class verse cultures. It studies a very wide variety of writers who are unknown to scholarship, and assesses the political, social, and cultural work which their poetry performed. During the Victorian period, Scotland underwent unprecedented changes in terms of industrialization, the rise of the city, migration, and emigration. This study shows how poets who defined themselves as part of a specifically Scottish tradition responded to these changes. It substantially revises our understanding of Scottish literature in this period, while contributing to wider investigations of the role of popular verse in national and international cultures.

Recenzii

Blair more than succeeds in making these interventions; her thoroughly impressive revisionist study is a crucial and much-needed contribution to each of these intersecting areas.
Blair is thorough in her research and convincing in her arguments. Working Verse in Victorian Scotland is a vital and excellent addition to both Victorian and Scottish literary studies. Essential. Lower-division undergraduates through faculty.
Kirstie Blair's paradigm-shifting monograph Working Verse in Victorian Scotland: Poetry, Press, Community should put a stop to any remaining critical skepticism about the "value" of studying laboring-class poets and their poetry... Blair's erudite, engaging, and truly paradigm-shifting study ensures that these poets—many of whom remain to be fully recovered—can no longer be ignored. There are rich rewards to be reaped by taking working-class poets and their poetry seriously, and Blair's book will be generative of new work and new approaches that will continue to enrich the study of laboring-class literature.
