The Broadview Anthology of Victorian Poetry and Poetic Theory: Concise Edition by Thomas J Collins

The Broadview Anthology of Victorian Poetry and Poetic Theory, Concise Editionis less than half the length of the full anthology, but preserves the main principles of the larger work. A number of longer poems (such as Tennyson's In Memoriam) are included in their entirety; there are generous selections from the work of all major poets, and a representative selection of other work; the work of Victorian women poets features very prominently; and a substantial selection of poetic theory is included to round out the volume.

“A comprehensive and intelligent selection … fills a long-standing need.” — Thomas Hoberg, Northeastern Illinois University

“I’m excited about the appearance of this anthology—especially about its inclusion of so may full-text long poems.” — Peter W. Sinnema, University of Alberta
