American Victorian poetry
View through CrossRef
“American Victorian Poetry” sounds like a contradiction in terms. Actually, the phrase “Victorian Poetry” was coined by an American in New York, when E. C. Stedman publishedVictorian Poetsin the United States in 1875. Further, since all of the poets we now call “Victorian” were read and reread on the American side of the Atlantic, we should say that the circulation of Victorian poetry was certainly American. But there is also much nineteenth‐century American poetry that is distinctly Victorian in source and influence, for example, the work of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. If Victorian poetry was obsessed with variations on verse genres (and it was), then Longfellow's version of American Victorian poetry did exactly what Stedman predicted it would do: it turned Victorian variation into dramatic American abstraction.
