The eavesdropping of a prisoner next door. The framed image of a woman with a sinister past. These familiar tropes from 1790s novels and tales exploded onto the English literary scene in 'low-brow' titles of Gothic romance. Surprisingly, however, they also re-emerged as features of major Victorian poems from the 1830s to 1870s. Such signature tropes -- inquisitional overhearing; female confinement and the damsel in distress; supernatural switches between living and dead bodies -- were transfigured into poetic forms that we recognise and teach today as canonically Victorian. \u003ci\u003eThe Gothic Forms of Victorian Poetry\u003c\/i\u003e identifies a poetics of Gothic enclosure constitutive of high Victorian poetry that came to define key nineteenth-century poetic forms, from the dramatic monologue, to women's sonnet sequences and metasonnets, to Pre-Raphaelite picture poems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Olivia Loksing Moy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/31\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh Critical Studies in Victorian Culture\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.98lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.66d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474487184","brand":"Edinburgh University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43981235191945,"sku":"9781474487184","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_49237080-b69f-4a70-a205-5c3ef477a2be.jpg?v=1747119686","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/the-gothic-forms-of-victorian-poetry-9781474487184","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
