Apparently the Victorian era was considered a wasteland of English poetry and Tennyson was considered stupid by later poets 🤔

It’s funny to get a peek at the backstage of a subculture you never really thought about as having a backstage.

Get a load of "Locksley Hall." Review was from a time when they still weren't talking about Browning, lol, who is the true great poet of the era but formidably difficult. His influence on Stevens (h/t Bloom's work) is now more acknowledged and his reputation more secure.
