Victorian Poetry and the Culture of the Heart - Oxford English Monographs
Blair, Kirstie (Lecturer in English Literature, University of Glasgow)
This study considers why and how the heart became a vital image in Victorian poetry. It argues that the intense focus on heart imagery in the period highlights anxieties about the ability of poetry to act upon its readers. It covers key poems by authors such as Tennyson and the Brownings, and contextualizes them with reference to lesser-known works.
