Covering a wide range of authors, among them Carlyle, Tennyson, Browning, Clare, Mary
Shelley and Disraeli, Cronin brings light and order to one of the murkiest quarters in recent
British literary history. Brimming with intelligent and original perceptions about authors of
works that have fallen through literary-historical cracks, Romantic Victorians offers shrewd
assessments of their formal and tactical designs.
