  • Description: This study explores Victorian poetry in relation to Victorian religion, with particular emphasis on the contemporary debates over the use of forms in worship. It discusses major Victorian poets - Tennyson, the Brownings, Rossetti, Hopkins, Hardy - and also argues that their work was influenced by a host of minor and less studied writers.
