DESCRIPTION:
The Go To Book for the Victorians John P I will make this short. It is printed on good paper, the binding holds up, and it has enough poems to keep me busy. These are one of those books that is a must for any poetry lover. I bought my book used and the price was great.
Valentine Cunningham is Fellow and Tutor in English Literature at Corpus Christi College, Oxford, Lecturer in English Literature at Oxford University, and a leading Visiting Professor at the University of Konstanz in Germany. His previous books include British Writers of the Thirties (1988), Everywhere Spoken Aga
Based essentially on precise and meticulous Oxford scholarship, this volume has an excellent introduction, and a formidable bibliography and index. "A Victorian anthology like this is just what we need." -Jerome J. McGann, University of Virginia "Valentine Cunningham has here provided us with a large volume, over 1,000 pages, surveying exhaustively and originally the entire field of Victorian poetry, both great and small. Thus it is a permanent and invaluable guide to its subject, reliable and comprehensive. It is an impressive task excellently accomplished. It must continue to serve that purpose probably for the rest of the twenty-first century." (Reference Reviews, 14:5, 2000)
This magnificent anthology presents the cornucopia of Victorian poetry within a single volume.
