Three Victorian Poets

By Alfred Tennyson and Cleo Qian

"But who hath seen her wave her hand? Or at the casement seen her stand? Or is she known in all the land, The Lady of Shalott?" Alfred, Lord Tennyson, Elizabeth Barrett and Robert Browning are the three nineteenth-century poets explored in this collection. The mixture of complete poems and extracts introduces readers to the variety of narrative and lyric work which forms an important part of the English literary heritage. This edition aims to help the exploration of the qualities which made these poets popular during the reign of Queen Victoria, transporting readers to a world of romance, myth and fantasy. . .
