First class on Victorian Poetry. The best and largest corpus of really good poetry in English -- really good because the novel is the bid for greatness now. But really good is really good. The Victorians' relationship to some modernists (just a little) and to the Romantics, especially Shelley and Wordsworth, illustrated in poems by Robert Browning, Beddoes, Patmore, Meynell, and Christina Rossetti.
N.B. Text will be Christopher Ricks, ed. New Oxford Book of Victorian Verse.
