The Printed Voice of Victorian Poetry starts from a simple fact: our written language does not represent the way we speak. Intonation, accent, tempo, and pitch of utterance can be inferred from a written text but they are not clearly demonstrated there. The book shows the implications of thisfact for linguists and philosophers of language and offers fundamental criticisms of some recent work in these fields. It aims principally to describe the ways in which nineteenth-century English poets - Tennyson, Browning, Hopkins - responded creatively to the ambiguities involved in writing downtheir own voices, the melodies of their speech. Original readings of the poets' work are given, both at a minutely detailed level and with regard to major preoccupations of the period - immortality, morbidity, marriage, social divisions, and religious conversions - and in this way Eric Griffithsoffers a new map of Victorian poetry. | The Printed Voice of Victorian Poetry by Eric Griffiths, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
