‘Franco Marucci’s History of English Literature is unique in its field. There is no other book that combines such erudition and authority in such a compact format. An indispensable work of reference.’
— J. B. Bullen, Visiting Fellow, Kellogg College, Oxford
History of English Literature is a comprehensive, eight-volume survey of
English literature from the Middle Ages to the early twenty-first century.
This reference work provides insightful and often revisionary readings
of core texts in the English literary canon. Richly informative analyses
are framed by the biographical, historical and intellectual context for
each author.
Volume 4 begins with a focus on the pivotal function of religion in the
mid-nineteenth century and explores the resulting oscillation between
Romantic escape, sceptical solipsism and social responsibility in the
poetry of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Tennyson, Browning, Clough and
Matthew Arnold. The aegis of religion was only broken by the advent of
Pre-Raphaelitism. This trajectory is reflected in a series of well-known
enigmatic masterworks by the Rossettis.
In addition to these key works, space is also devoted to often neglected
poets and poetry such as Patmore and Adelaide Procter, nonsense
verse and Lear’s limericks, the dialect poet William Barnes, and the
Victorian ‘poetesses’. Finally, the author rescues from critical oblivion
the Spasmodics, honours the minor prose masterpiece Dreamthorp
by Alexander Smith, and registers the revival of drama with Taylor,
Boucicault and Robertson.
