Authors:
- Argues that certain poets understood the rhetorical power of poetic soul-talk for challenging reductive reasoning, empty abstractions, and the depersonalizing effects of an increasingly mechanized, bureaucratized, and commercializing society
- Addresses the lack of attention given to “soul” and the poetic “soul-talk” of democratically minded poets that co-existed with it
- Looks at work by poets such as Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Arthur Hugh Clough, Robert Browning, Algernon Charles Swinburne and Walt Whitman
Part of the book series: Palgrave Studies in Nineteenth-Century Writing and Culture (PNWC)
