Rhythm and Will in Victorian Poetry
Matthew Campbell explores the work of four Victorian poetsTennyson, Browning, Hopkins and Hardyin the context of their concern with questions of human agency and will. Through close study of meter, rhyme and rhythm, Campbell reveals how closely, for these poets, questions of poetics are related to issues of psychology, ethics and social change. He goes on to discuss more general questions of poetics, from Milton through Romanticism and into contemporary critical debate, making a major contribution to the current renewal of interest in formalist readings of poetry.
