Daniel Karlin's Selection of Victorian Poetry

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 as Arnold, Emily Bronte, Hardy, and Hopkins, and makes room for several poem-sequences in their entirety.

Discovering Eccentric Voices

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.
