Böcker av Isobel Armstrong

Poetry Poets and Politics. In a comprehensive and theoretically astute study, Armstrong rescues Victorian poetry from its images as a moralised form of romantic verse and unearths its often subversive critique of nineteenth-century culture and politics.

First published in 1969, this edition collection brings together a series of essaysnbspoffering a nbspre-evaluation ofnbspVictorian poetry in the light of early 20th Century criticism.nbsp

Essays, short stories and poems by eminent creative writers, critics and scholars from three continents celebrate the literary achievements of Barbara Hardy, the foremost exponent of close critical reading in the latter half of the twentieth century and today.
