Reviews

'When I follow Helsinger's knowledge of poetic genres and nineteenth-century poetry through these chapters and think about the conversations she is having with these poems - that she is reading into them - the book sparkles with excitement and refreshing perspective.' Meredith Martin, Victorian Studies
