Opis

First published in 1969, this collection brings together a series of essays offering a re-evaluation of Victorian poetry in the light of early 20th century criticism. The essays concentrate upon the poets whose reputations suffered from the great redirection of energy in English criticism initiated by Eliot, Richards and Leavis.
