Description for Romantic Victorians
Paperback. This is a book about the most neglected period of English literature, the period that intervened between the death of the younger Romantics and the emergence of the major Victorians, a period so neglected that it was not even given a name. Num Pages: 304 pages, biography. BIC Classification: DS; JFSJ. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 216 x 140. .
Covering a wide range of authors, among them Carlyle, Tennyson, Browning, Clare, Mary Shelley and Disraeli, Cronin brings light and order to one of the murkiest quarters in recent British literary history. Brimming with intelligent and original perceptions about authors of works that have fallen through literary-historical cracks, Romantic Victorians offers shrewd assessments of their formal and tactical designs.
