About this book
Reviews
“Approach to liberalism constitutes at once the book’s main liability and its greatest strength. … nineteenth-century poets engaged with the progressive social thought of their day not only when they addressed it directly but in all their poems, even the most apparently private. Barton’s often revelatory new formalist analyses compellingly demonstrate the real intellectual work that poetry can perform.” (Erik Gray,The Review of English Studies, Vol. 70 (293), February, 2019)
