Victorian Poetry

Though a few of these people did write prose, ETS wants you to know them primarily as poets (Matthew Arnold is an exception because his poetry and his prose works will figure prominently on the exam). Visit the 18th 19th century novel page for information on Victorian prose writing.

Many thanks to Terry Pawlowski for help in putting this page together.
