Summary
This study explores lyric poetrý⁰₉s response to a crisis of relevance in Victorian Modernity, offering an analysis of literature usually elided by studies of the modern formation of the genre and uncovering previously unrecognized discourses within it. Setting the focal aestheticist poetry (c. 1860 to 1914) within much broader historical, theoretical and aesthetic frames, it speaks to those interested in Victorian and modernist literature and culture, but also to a burgeoning audience of the ́⁰new lyric studieś⁰₉. The six case studies introduce fresh poetic voices as well as giving innovative analyses of canonical writers (such as D.G. Rossetti, Ezra Pound, A.C. Swinburne).
