Routledge Revivals: English Poetry in the Later Nineteenth Century (1933)
Brand: Routledge
Description
First published in 1933 this study which underwent revision in the 1960s is a comprehensive survey of the verse of English nineteenth-century poets whose work appeared after 1860. A special feature is the full and critical treatment of minor writers. In no other book is their work so carefully evaluated. There is a full account of the minor Pre-Raphaelites of James Thomson the poet of The City of Dreadful Night of Henley Stevenson and George MacDonald. John Davidson is the subject of a long and revealing study. Evans suggests that poetry from the late nineteenth century is neglected in scholarly study and that Victorian Romanticism deserves more attention than it has recently received. | Routledge Revivals: English Poetry in the Later Nineteenth Century (1933)
