The New Oxford Book of Victorian Verse by Christopher Ricks

This radical reassessment of the Victorians and their poetry demonstrates what a great variety of poetry and poets the period produced. The collection contains 560 poems by 115 poets - from nonsense verse to nature poetry, and from Tennyson to Oscar Wilde.
