Victorian Songs: Lyrics of the Affections and Nature is a carefully curated anthology of the best lyric poetry produced during Victoria’s reign — drawing on the full range of Victorian voices, from Tennyson and Browning to lesser-known lyricists, in poems of romantic feeling, domestic affection, and natural description.
The Victorian period was one of the richest in English poetry, and this collection captures its characteristic blend of sentiment and technical mastery. The free EPUB is cleanly formatted with each poem’s title and stanza breaks clearly preserved.
