Victorian Poetry Many characteristics of romantic poetry continued in poetry of the
Victorian period. - However, Victorian poetry, in general, is less subjective than the romantic. - An interest in the past, both the classical and the medieval, appears in the subjects, and in the use of mythological and historical allusions. - The dramatic monologue is used greatly by the poets. - The themes are more realistic, discussing such issues as child labor, the rights of women, science and religion.- Victorian poetry is mostly pictorial, heavily relying on visual imagery.- The elegy is one of the most popular poetic forms in the period, a form of poetry that laments the dead or the past.- Victorian poetry is often characterized by doubt and psychological conflicts.
