Description
Palgrave MacMillan Victorian Poetry and Modern Life The Unpoetical Age 2015 Edition by Natasha Moore
Faced with the chaos and banality of modern, everyday life, a number of Victorian poets sought innovative ways of writing about the unpoetic present in their verse. Their varied efforts are recognisably akin, not least in their development of mixed verse-forms that fused novel and epic to create something equal to the miscellaneousness of the age.
