  Bernard Richard's account of Victorian poetry is 'thematic', balancing detailed analyses of individual poets including Tennyson, Browning, Clough and Hopkins, with a broader perspective of the poetic spirit of the age. He characterises the Victorian period as one of tremendous poetic wealth, related to, but different from the Romantic and Modernist periods before and after it.
