Description
Victorian Poetry in Context by Rosie Miles provides readers with an in-depth analysis of poetry produced during one of literature’s most dynamic periods. The book situates the works of major Victorian poets within the broader landscape of social, political, and technological change that defined the nineteenth century.
Miles explores how poets such as Tennyson, Browning, and the Rossetti siblings engaged with contemporary issues including industrialization, religious doubt, gender roles, and imperial expansion. By examining poetry alongside historical events and cultural movements, this study reveals the profound ways literature both reflected and shaped Victorian society. The book offers valuable insights for students and scholars seeking to understand not only Victorian poetry itself, but also the complex relationship between literature and history.
