Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Greater Victorian Poets IT is impossible to define precisely, and often difficult to define at all, a period of literature. The political divisions commonly adopted are approximations, in many cases of the roughest kind. When we begin to ask what are the limits of the Elizabethan period, or of the period of Queen Anne, we find that the divisions which criticism can establish in literature by no means syn chronise with the time covered by the reigns of those sovereigns. Nevertheless, it requires but little reflection to Show that ex pressions of this kind, though never exact, generally convey a substantial truth. The movement of time is an abstract ex pression which means the movement of the human spirit in all its manifestations; and the movement of time is best marked by political events. Thus, when, with reference to literature, we speak of the age of Pericles or of Elizabeth, or of the period of the French Revolution, we mean that there was in those ages a movement in literature bearing conspicuously the impress of its connexion with the history of the time. No one can doubt that the marvellous literary activity of Athens in the fifth century was intimately connected with the events which made the city politically so prominent and so powerful; nor is it possible to deny that the great outburst of poetic genius in England in the end of the sixteenth and the beginning of the seventeenth centuries was an expression of a heightened and intensified national life. Naturally therefore, and not inappro priately, those periods of literature have been associated with the most prominent names of the time in politics. It is equally clear that the greatest historical event Since the Reformation had a profound influence upon literature, and that, for a; Qefiod.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Booklovers Reading Club: Hand-Book to Accompany the Reading Course Entitled, the Greater Victorian Poets We are coming, then, to a time when we can at least make the attempt to judge the Victorian poets with the impartial eyes of posterity. A cer tain distance from the Object is necessary to give the proper sense of proportion, and as the Vic torian age recedes into the background, we begin for the first time to realize its true place in the history Of English literature and to perceive accurately the relative position which its great poets bear to each other and to their predeces sors. The equally extravagant outbursts Of insult and panegyric which greeted the earlier and the later poems of Browning have now be come impossible. There seem to be plain signs of the diminution Of that extraordinary influence which Tennyson once exerted alike upon poets and critics Of poetry. On the other hand, as the din of the social and theological polemics into which Arnold flung himself dies away, his fame as a poet emerges with a clearer and more steadfast radiance. Perhaps it may be the chief literary business of the present age not so much to pro duce new work as to rejudge and properly appreciate the work - Of the age that has just closed.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Victorian Poets Chapters VII and VIII, in which miscellaneous groups were considered, though written as an afterthought, and not possessing the artistic unity of other chapters, proved especially serviceable in the last-named capacity. My gain in comprehension of the general drift was greater than any fancied loss through deviation from an eclectic literary standard. They completed, moreover, the annals of the period, and gave my book a practical if secondary value as a work of reference.vi preface TO the thirteenth edition: Whether its early welcome at home and abroad, and the favor still vouchsafed to it, have been due to the quality of my argument, or to the need of such a record, or to both together, it is in view of this encouragement, and of the changes incident to the close of the typical Victorian epoch, that I add the supplemental matter which extends our survey to the present year.

Download or read book The Penguin Book of Victorian Verse written by and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 1998-10-19 with total page 928 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Daniel Karlin has selected poetry written and published during the reign of Queen Victoria, (1837-1901). Giving pride of place to Tennyson, Robert Browning, and Christina Rossetti, the volume offers generous selections from other major poets such asArnold, Emily Bronte, Hardy and Hopkins, and makes room for several poem-sequences in their entirety. It is wonderful, too, in its discovery and inclusion of eccentric, dissenting, un-Victorian voices, poets who squarely refuse to 'represent' their period. It also includes the work of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, George Meredith, James Thomson and Augusta Webster.
