Institution:

Wheaton College - Massachusetts

Subject:

Description:

Victorian culture valued poetry: children recited it in the parlor, soldiers sang it en route to battle and the queen kept Tennyson on her bedside table (his poetry, that is). This course brings you a range of Victorian poetry and highlights some of the recurrent themes of the period (such as imperialism and gender roles) as well as issues of form (with special attention to the dramatic monologue, comic poetry and narrative poetry). (Paula M. Krebs)
