<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A critical collection of late-Victorian poetry, fully annotated and explored, bringing to life the often overlooked but integral verse of the period.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>This volume is both an essential resource for undergraduates and graduates studying Victorian and Decadent literature and an instructive work for enthusiastic readers of verse. The wide span of the 1872-1900 epoch enables readers to appreciate in great depth the literary developments that led to the fin de siècle, unlike most studies of this period, which focus solely on the 1890s, with no relation to cultural and historical developments in the previous two important decades.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>'It is a strength of "Decadent Verse" that it sets out to reconfigure the familiar precincts of Decadence by offering up a panoply of new (and old) poets as potential members of the movement.' --Jamie Horrocks, 'English Literature in Transition, 1880-1920'</p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Caroline Blyth teaches English at Royal Holloway, University of London, and is Visiting Fellow at St Edmund's College, Cambridge, where she was formerly Fellow and Director of Studies in English.</p>
