Covering a wide range of authors, among them Carlyle, Tennyson, Browning, Clare, Mary Shelley, and Disraeli, Cronin brings light and order to one of the murkiest quarters in recent British literary history. Brimming with intelligent and original perceptions about authors or works that have fallen through literary-historical cracks, "Romantic Victorians" offers shrewd assessments of their formal and tactical designs. This is a literary period in which literature fully entered the marketplace, and in which an ideology was constitued - civic, domestic, Christian and imperial - that was to inform British society for more than a century. These are among the issues that Cronin addresses and, in so doing, successfully restructures nineteenth-century literary studies.

Industry Reviews

'If Cronin's book elegantly succeeds in showing how these Romantic questions were answered by poets like Tennyson, it also succeeds in reminding us that these answers would become questionable in their turn.' - Robert Douglas-Fairhurst, Magdalen College, Oxford, The Tennyson Research Bulletin

'...contains so much lucid, intelligent and perceptive commentary upon its subject.' - Sally Bushell, The Wordsworth Circle
