Love Among the PoetsThe Victorian Poetics of Intimacy\nAuthor(s): Pearl Chaozon Bauer, Erik Gray\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Ohio University Press, United States\nImprint: Ohio University Press\nISBN-13: 9780821425442, 978-0821425442\nSynopsis\nBritish literature of the Victorian period has always been celebrated for the quality, innovativeness, and sheer profusion of its love poetry. Every major Victorian poet produced notable poems about love. This includes not only canonical figures, such as Alfred Lord Tennyson, Robert and Elizabeth Barrett Browning, and Christina Rossetti, but also lesser-known poets whose works have only recently become widely recognized and studied, such as Augusta Webster and the many often anonymous working-class poets whose verses filled the pages of popular periodicals. Modern critics have claimed, convincingly, that love poetry is not just one strain of Victorian poetry among many; it is arguably its representative, even definitive, mode.\n This collect.
