Reflecting the concerns of the age, the poetry expressed an intriguing blend of confidence and insecurity, faith and uncertainty, pride and humility. Alongside the major poets - Tennyson, Arnold, Browing and Hopkins - this anthology offers a rich diversity of poetry, much of it refreshingly anti-Victorian in spirit and tone, from the 'nature' poetry of William Barnes and the individual voices of personal experience if Emily Brontë and Christina Rossetti, to the wonderful nonsense poems and rhymes of Lewis Carroll and Edward Lear.
