The Landscape of the Brontes [Hardcover] Arthur pollard (Author), Simon McBride (Photographer)

The Victorian age was one whose principal tenets were progress and individualism, and one characterized by Tennyson as an awful moment of transition. In this volume introductory essays on aspects of Victorian thought, faith and doubt lead into chapters on the major novelists and poets of the period, as well as pieces on women prose-writers, fantasy and nonsense, the Victorian theatre and the fin de siecle.

Focusing on the literary genre of satire, this work offers a thorough overview and analysis of its key elements and characteristics. First published in 1970, it serves as an essential resource for readers and scholars interested in delving deeper into satirical literature, making it a valuable starting point for further study.
