A Victorian Miscellany
Selected and edited by Thomas W. Parrott
Read by Denis Daly
During the Victorian era, many authors tried their hand at a range of literary genres, including poetry. Many of the authors whose work is represented in this collection are famous for their activity in other genres, eg, Macaulay as a historian, Stevenson as a writer of classic adventure novels, John Henry Newman as a theologian, and Kingsley and Thackeray as novelists. The most notable contributors who are known primarily as poets are Arnold and Swinburne.
While Victorian verse is often less elegant and graceful than the lyric productions of earlier centuries, it has a distinctive note of earnestness and humanistic charm.
