Taking its title from Tennyson, my essay, “A Bounded Field: Situating Victorian Poetry in the Literary Landscape,” argued that studies of Victorian poetry tended to look inward rather than reaching across temporal, geographic, and generic boundaries. Focusing on the surge of interest in female Victorian poets that had begun about fifteen years earlier, I noted the critical tendency to consider those poets primarily either in isolation or in relationship to each other, and I urged the importance of studying them in relation to a more expansive context. Unable to resist another pun on “field,” I chose to illustrate my point using Michael Field’s “The Sleeping Venus” (1892). Field’s poem describes a 1510 painting by Giorgione that depicts the nude Venus reclining full-length in an idealized landscape. The poets describe the figure’s posture, not unreasonably, as suggesting an act of autoeroticism. But they also emphasize the way the central figure echoes and participates in the interplay of shapes and lines of the broader landscape in which she appears. The point of my reading, explicitly, was to take the figure of Venus as a symbol for Victorian poetry: we should not become so fascinated with our field and its internal relations, I argued, that we ignore its relation to a wider context; rather we should follow the example of Michael Field and try to see the whole picture. Implicitly, though, my argument seemed to offer Venus as a symbol of the critic of Victorian poetry. Do you see this figure (I said, in essence, to my colleagues)—somnolent, oblivious, self-pleasuring? That’s you. Rereading the essay now for the first time in twenty years, I am surprised by a few things. I’m surprised at my presumptuousness. I’m a little surprised that I have continued to have a career in this field and even to be welcomed within it. Even so, I stand by what I wrote. It’s always a safe [End Page 437] bet, of course, to call for breadth and inclusiveness rather than narrowness and strictly defined boundaries—nothing remarkable there. But what strikes me in retrospect is how my plea for expanding our field of vision prefigured, however faintly, the two most significant calls to action to have appeared in Victorian studies since that time (both of them, as it happens, jointly authored): the Manifesto of the V21 Collective (2015) and “Undisciplining Victorian Studies” (2020), by Ronjaunee Chatterjee, Alicia Mireles Christoff, and Amy R.

Hughes (bio) </li> </ul> I open by paying tribute to John Lamb, the outgoing editor of Victorian Poetry, who suggested the idea—a brilliant one—for this special issue back in 2022. The collected essays it gathers comprise a fitting capstone to his editorship of Victorian Poetry from 2005 to 2023. This afterword appends a meta-retrospect to the retrospects (as well as the forward-looking prospects) on Victorian poetry scholarship the issue’s gifted contributors offer. Rather than responding to each “Whither Redux” commentary in turn, I focus on the larger impressions and cumulative status report on the fortunes of Victorian poetry they form. One happy revelation from the special issue is that so many of the nascent scholars who contributed to “Whither Victorian Poetry?” in 2003 have since had such successful and productive careers—a heartening fact when we more often hear about blocked or merely marginal opportunities within our profession. Some “Whither Redux?” essays can even be read as a collective memoir of professional life during the past two decades, especially Jason Rudy’s, Charles LaPorte’s, and Stephanie Weiner’s accounts of how their scholarship has evolved, sometimes in markedly new ways, over the course of their now mature careers. Continuities are evident as well as change; Michele Martinez continues to pursue research in the sister arts, now within a much wider ambit, and Helen Groth again focuses on poetry and photography, in this case, an 1891 Bodley Head edition of Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s Casa Guidi Windows with an introductory essay by fin-de-siécle poet A. Mary F. Robinson (by then Mme. Darmesteter). Monique Morgan, Lee O’Brien, and Stephanie Weiner helpfully provide illuminating surveys of the 2003 “Whither?” special issue, enabling readers of the current issue to gauge more comprehensively how well the new directions embraced or predicted in 2003 have been borne out by subsequent scholarship. The major lacunae in these predictions of two decades [End Page 569] ago, Monique Morgan suggests, are the anti-racist and ecocritical approaches to poetry that are now central to innovative scholarship today. As is to be expected, the 2023 contributors form no monolithic group, nor a monolithic consensus. Whereas some emphasize the contraction of opportunity in the humanities generally, and poetry scholarship and classroom teaching in particular, others see an expansion. Those perceiving contraction especially underscore the dramatic decline of interest among students and other department faculty in historical studies, and an even more radical decline in “depth” reading, as do Charles La Porte, Lee O’Brien, Monique Morgan, and Marion Thain.

It was a moment crystallized in many ways by Isobel Armstrong’s generative provocation to think Victorian poetry anew in Victorian Poetry: Poetry, Poetics, Politics (1993). Victorian poetry was an uneven and various political art form that required new critical methods, Armstrong argued. The readings that she enlisted to make her case for the aesthetic and political complexity of a selection of poems by Tennyson, Barrett Browning, Browning, Arnold, and others, modeled a process of “double reading” that revealed the experimental and epistemological reflexivity of Victorian poetry: a “systematically ambiguous language, out of which expressive and phenomenological readings emerge.”1 I began my essay with an epigraph taken from Armstrong’s study that still intrigues me after multiple readings and many intervening years: “The major critical and theoretical movements of the twentieth century have been virtually silent about Victorian poetry. As the stranded remnants of high bourgeois liberalism, the poets have been consigned to sepia” (p. 1). These two sentences capture the urgency of a different “now” in two images of arrested development. The first evokes the acoustics of critical indifference: a resounding silence in contrast to the polemical noise generated around the nineteenth-century novel, Romanticism, or Modernism, to name just three dominant areas of theoretically ambitious critical inquiry in the second half of the twentieth century. The second enlists the metaphor of sepia, a visual effect often associated with photography in the nineteenth century and beyond, to capture the perceived untimeliness of Victorian poetry. The sepia image in Armstrong’s conceptual construction is the enemy of Victorian poetry, arresting its dynamic variety in a still image of smug middle-class conservatism, like an unflattering reddish-brown monochromatic portrait gathering dust on a neglected shelf in a rarely used room. [End Page 493] Reading against the grain of Armstrong’s suggestive, albeit negative, conjuncture of a familiar visual effect (sometimes photographic) and Victorian poetry, my essay responded to her critical challenge with a certain degree of willful optimism. The resulting argument attempted to articulate a very different kind of “timely” relationship between the visual image and poetry to the one Armstrong had in mind: a relationship materialized in the form of the photographically illustrated book and brokered by a poetics sensitized to the commerce of publication. To make my case I drew on archi","PeriodicalId":54107,"journal":{"name":"VICTORIAN POETRY","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141774756","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Before then, vers de société “dwelled in a conceptual middle ground defined by balance and detachment—emotional, formal, even philosophical,” including “an Enlightenment-era aesthetic of poised, ‘polished’ form; an emotional tenor set between raucous humor and tragedy; and a philosophic position of detachment from and acceptance of life’s suffering.”3 That essay became a point of departure for a broader exploration of the critical potential for the study of verse as an alternative to its ostensibly more elevated counterpart, poetry, that I undertook with Olivia Loksing Moy. In the introduction to our edited collection, Victorian Verse: The Poetics of Everyday Life (2023), we offer what we term “verse studies” as a framework for engaging with the vast poetic output of the nineteenth century, in order “to counter critical tendencies that have long narrowed our curricula and our scholarly practices.”4 Our contributors explore such subjects as the crucial periodical contexts for most Victorian verse production as well as verse forms such as ballades and rondels, hymns, children’s poetry, comic verse published in Punch and Fun, working-class and colonial ballads, and sonnets written for parlor games. A pathway that I’d like to offer here for verse studies is to return to the subject of specifically light verse—a vast corpus that, with the notable exception of recent work on nonsense verse, remains underexplored5—in a different context: How did women poets, who increasingly adopted new [End Page 531] authorial personas as the influence of the poetess tradition began to wane in the later nineteenth century, take up the mantle of lightness? I’ve selected a signal example to explore, the poet May Kendall (1861–1943), a figure invoked by Marion Thain in a notable essay from the first Whither Victorian Poetry? special issue. In 2003, after a recent wave of scholarship recovering the work of non-canonical Victorian women poets, Thain used May Kendall to frame the question","PeriodicalId":54107,"journal":{"name":"VICTORIAN POETRY","volume":"114 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141774894","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Morgan (bio) </li> </ul> My title is meant both as an homage to the subtitle of Isobel Armstrong’s foundational study, Victorian Poetry: Poetry, Poetics, Politics, and as an evocation of the possibilities this group of scholars saw twenty years ago and those we see today. In preparing to write this essay, I reread the “Whither Victorian Poetry?” 2003 special issue and I was struck by three things. First, the topics and methodologies most frequently called for by the issue’s contributors became important trends in the field in the intervening twenty years. Second, two of the most important current methods in the field—anti-racist scholarship and ecocriticism—were much less frequently mentioned in the issue. Third, many contributors expressed a sense of crisis, both within academic institutions and in global politics, and our sense of crisis has only become more urgent in 2023. I’ll start with the good news: the ways in which our predictions have come to fruition and the collective accomplishments of scholars writing about Victorian poetry. In the contributions to “Whither Victorian Poetry?” we can find several topics that were foregrounded in multiple essays, including Victorian poetry’s relations to genre (both to specific poetic genres and to the novel), to other media (especially painting and photography), and to book history, print culture, and periodicals. Several essays called for greater attention to issues of periodization and to the long nineteenth century. I do not have space in this essay to recognize properly the abundant and important work that has been done in the past two decades on these topics. Instead, I will foreground a few examples of recent work on two other topics that frequently occurred in “Whither Victorian Poetry?” and are topics with which my own work has engaged: New Formalism and Victorian women poets. In my 2003 essay, I praised an emerging scholarly movement in which “[c]lose attention to formal features is seen as crucial to an understanding of a text’s social and political meanings, and poems are viewed not as univocal conveyors of an (implicit or explicit) ideological content, but rather as sites of exploration and contestation of (sometimes [End Page 507] incompatible) views.”1 Several other contributors also noted this movement and cited Isobel Armstrong’s Victorian Poetry (1993) and Susan Wolfson’s Formal Charges (1997) as foundational texts, but there was not yet a consensus on what to call this new movement. I, rather awkwardly, called it “politically inflected formalism” (p. 502). Jason Rudy borrowed the term “neoformalism” from Herbert Tucker and adopted the phrase “cultural neoformalism” as one possible label for a developin","PeriodicalId":54107,"journal":{"name":"VICTORIAN POETRY","volume":"81 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141774752","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Looking back on that special issue today as a middle-aged professor, I again find myself gratified by the brilliancy of my colleagues, most of whose essays have aged beautifully. My own contribution to that special issue, by contrast, has aged less well, partly because I took for granted the ongoing institutional health of the humanities in twenty-first-century higher education. Anyone who has been paying attention to public discourses about education in the intervening years (at least in the States) will likely share my new-found disquietude. I retain hope for the future of our field, believing in poetry as I do, but the future brings real challenges ahead that I will address in the second half of this essay. In that 2003 essay, I celebrated and looked forward to new possibilities afforded by online databases to turbocharge our study of Victorian poetic culture and poetic subcultures. I pointed out that we could better understand “poetry as a specific cultural behavior” when we had better access to the specific ways that Victorian poetry and poetic commentary first circulated.1 I prophesied that <blockquote> present and future online database research will not only revolutionize the way that we conceive of the Victorian cultural tradition, but it will create a more egalitarian worldwide scholarly community by making available good reproductions of rare books, manuscripts, and periodicals. (p. 523) </blockquote> Ultimately, as I reasoned, our academic field would be galvanized by the literary sociology of a thousand Pierre (or Pierrette) Bourdieus, tracing the context of poetry and its circulation across the world in a print network of meaning that we could then study from any number of angles, from the global (What [End Page 561] kinds of poems appear in English-language newspapers in mid-century Manchester? 1870s Ontario? fin-de-siècle Bengal?) to the granular (How does such-and-such a coterie magazine lay out its filler poetry from decade to decade?). Victorian poetry itself seemed to be exploding outward into endless enchanting possibilities. In meaningful ways, it is doing so still. It is now hard for me to look back at my prophecy of a future “egalitarian worldwide scholarly community” without cringing, however. In reality, literary research databases have been neither uniformly “egalitarian” nor “worldwide.” For instance, when the COVID-19 lockdown closed university libraries, deep-pocketed institutions pivoted quickly to","PeriodicalId":54107,"journal":{"name":"VICTORIAN POETRY","volume":"48 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141774757","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Lamb </li> </ul> “The future of poetry is immense.” So claimed Matthew Arnold in “The Study of Poetry” originally published in 1880 as the general introduction to The English Poets, edited by T. H. Ward. Arnold went on to encourage his readers to “conceive of [poetry] as capable of higher uses, and called to higher destinies, than those which in general men have assigned to it hitherto. More and more mankind will discover that we have to turn to poetry to interpret life for us, to console us, to sustain us. Without poetry, our science will appear incomplete.”1 “The Study of Poetry” is perhaps most notable not for those English poets Arnold excludes from the narrow confines of the “classic”—Chaucer, Pope, Burns, and all the Romantics save Wordsworth—but for those he fails to mention at all, those contemporary Victorian poets whose major work was published by 1880. However, the study of the Victorian poets Arnold consigns to the hinterlands of literary history, as well as their fin-de-siècle compatriots, has since 1963 found its place in Victorian Poetry. Today, Arnold’s proscriptions may seem to us, as they did to some of his contemporaries, more like an act of border control designed “not just to distinguish but to keep apart.” As the philosopher Edward Casey suggests, “Every border is constructed such that it is closed or subject to closure.” But a boundary, Casey maintains, is “intrinsically permeable; it is porous by its very nature.”2 Boundaries have an “inherent openness and vagueness of spatial extent”;3 and the ever-expanding boundaries of nineteenth-century poetry and its study are once again charted in this issue, “Whither Victorian Poetry Redux.” Certain forms of critical practice, not only during the nineteenth century but also in our own era of book banning and the unrelenting assault on the humanities, appear committed to shoring up the allegedly porous borders of literary and cultural history--some may cross but others may not. But for the past six decades Victorian Poetry, led by a committed and always insightful band of scholars, has been mining the rich repositories of nineteenth-century [End Page 433] poetry while at the same time undermining the borders—those cultural and institutional walls still prevalent today—that would consign poetry and its study to permanent exile. In a discussion of the work of the writer and naturalist Richard Mabey, the geographer Hayden Lorimer notes, “What Mabey’s work seems to exemplify is a certain way of carrying yourself into the craft of study: where the shape of a topic cannot be said to exist, but rather to occur in the act.”4 But all too often, partic","PeriodicalId":54107,"journal":{"name":"VICTORIAN POETRY","volume":"56 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141774747","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Inspired by John Lamb’s idea, borrowed from Tim Ingold, that “we know as we go, not before we go,” I diagrammed my journey as a scholar and teacher over the last twenty years.1 Then I read the whole “Whither Victorian Poetry?” special issue from 2003 and most of the articles that have appeared in Victorian Poetry in the last five years. I was curious: Where did we think we were headed, back then, and where are we now? This essay is about the observations that arose from this non-exhaustive, admittedly idiosyncratic bit of research. In a nutshell, “Whither Victorian Poetry?” was amazingly prescient of what came afterward, for me personally and for scholars in the field as a whole. It was fascinating to see how our concerns of 2003 reverberated from 2018–2023. I also saw more clearly how my own journey tacked back and forth between scholarship and teaching, and how my orientation toward the field has shifted from looking for gaps to gravitating toward energetic conversations. <h2>Whither Points the Way</h2> I was most struck in turning back to “Whither Victorian Poetry?” by how fully it predicted what looks in retrospect like a big methodological shift in our field. In the special issue, many contributors called on us to “attend to both historical context and the processes of signification,” as Anne Hartman put it.2 There was an excitement in 2003, which I certainly remember sharing but had since forgotten, about bringing together historicist and formalist approaches to literary interpretation. The excitement can be felt in descriptions of this methodology as innovative and as gaining steam, for example in Monique R. Morgan’s essay: “We are witnessing the beginnings of a new trend in literary criticism, one that respects both the formal structures and the social contexts of poems” (p. 500). Jason R. Rudy agreed: “we can now imagine techniques of formal analysis that bring to literary texts the direct opposite of New Critical decontextualization” by “tak[ing] literary form as a subtle and often [End Page 445] neglected vehicle for broader cultural forces” (p. 590). Now I don’t think Victorian poetry scholars feel any need to justify this approach! We just do this kind of thing—or not—investigating formal and historical questions on their own or (more often) together, without making a big deal about it. For me, to encounter this moment in the methodological history of our field afresh was like meeting the college-age child of an old friend, giving me a surprising, sudden sense that twenty years is actually a long time, a span in which a lot can change","PeriodicalId":54107,"journal":{"name":"VICTORIAN POETRY","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141774749","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Climate change has become a frightening reality in data that has already, this year, provided evidence of endless “firsts” or “highests.” In this context, why read Victorian poetry? Who cares, and why should anyone care? This is a particularly pertinent question to ask at the sixtieth anniversary of the journal Victorian Poetry, whose leadership has shaped the field under the fine stewardship of John Lamb, and which is about to pass to a new editor-in-chief. In the 2002 issue (revisited in this present issue), I wrote about the category of “women’s poetry”: what is a “woman poet” and, crucially, how did that concept develop historically.1 More specifically, how did the idea of women’s poetry frame engagement with the writing and reception of poetry by women in the nineteenth century? And how might we usefully trouble the deceptively unified category of “women’s poetry”? Pointing out that the category was not always being used as a biological-sex-based category (Alfred Miles’s well known anthology, I noted, included the work of female poets in volumes other than the one specifically devoted to “women’s poetry”), I concluded that women’s poetry was, in the late nineteenth century, as much a genre-based category as a gender-based one. What might we learn from exploring this late-nineteenth century gender taxonomy at the present moment, in which the nature of the category “woman” is (at least in some quarters) much discussed? That analysis of the concept of “women’s poetry” in 2002 has gained a potential whole new relevance as the categories of “women’s sport” and “women’s toilets” have become contentious in recent years. The recognition of the highly constructed nature of the categories of poetess and the “woman poet” provides a foundation and touchstone for the questions that are now being asked about gender identity: about the multiplicity of identities within and across categories, and the way those categories are inhabited. We are once again, and in a new way, at a moment when the issue of gender categorization is relevant and important [End Page 543] in public discourse. At the same time as the concept of “woman writer” is necessarily being explored afresh, a number of talented new scholars are working on the formation of trans-identity discourses in late nineteenth-century literature. The late nineteenth-century moment in which sexology, psychoanalysis, and the queer identities of decadence were providing new discourses and taxonomies for gender and sexuality is a moment that needs to be read in relation to the attempts of our current age to find ways of ar","PeriodicalId":54107,"journal":{"name":"VICTORIAN POETRY","volume":"37 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141774755","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
