The Poet's Mind - The Psychology of Victorian Poetry 1830-1870

Zusatztext The Poets Mind is full of well-observed zoomings-in on the cogs and gears of poems; seemingly banal or readily understandable words like brain, mind, heart, body, and soul become more like Empsonian complex words. Informationen zum Autor Gregory Tate was born in Kingston upon Thames in 1983. He studied English literature as an undergraduate at the University of Sheffield, where he first developed his passion for Victorian poetry. After finishing his BA degree, and after a year working in a bank, he studied for a masters degree in Victorian literature, and then a doctorate, at Linacre College, Oxford. He is now a Lecturer in English Literature at the University of Surrey, and his research focuses on the inter-relations between literature and science in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Klappentext The Poet's Mind is a comprehensive study of the ways in which Victorian poets thought and wrote about the human mind. It argues that these poets used their writing both to express psychological processes of thought and feeling and to subject those processes to scrutiny and analysis.
