Description
Book SynopsisFeaturing innovative research by emergent and established scholars, The Fin-de-Siècle Poem throws new light on the remarkable diversity of poetry produced at the close of the nineteenth century in England.
Trade Review“This collection is a significant contribution to the scholarship on late Victorian literature. It will also allow scholars of modernist literature to reassess the modernity of the fin-de-siècle in Britain.”
“This book is a masterful collection of articles that seeks to freshen critical interest in this strange transition period between the apparent softness of Victorian poetry and deliberate hardness of the modernist poetry waiting around the century’s corner.” * Rocky Mountain Review of Language & Literature *
“The volume is a major contribution to the study of late-Victorian poetics. Bristow should be commended for inspiring and assembling it and Ohio should be recognised for publishing an anthology of higher quality than more established presses.” * Victorian Studies *
“The Fin-de-Siécle Poem: English Literary Culture and the 1890s is one of the most important books in the field of fin-de-siécle poetry of the last twenty years. Erudite, bold, and impressive, this collection offers new ways of reading the poetry of the 1890s and demonstrates just how rewarding those new ideas can be.” * Journal of Pre-Raphaelite Studies *
