“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 *
