Professor Lee Behlman Publishes a New Edited Collection on Victorian Verse

Lee Behlman, Associate Professor of English, has published a new edited collection for Palgrave/Macmillan, Victorian Verse: The Poetics of Everyday Life, with CUNY-Lehman College English Professor Olivia Loksing Moy. Carolyn Williams at Rutgers University has called this book a “wonderful volume” that is “a pleasure to read,” and Tricia Lootens at the University of Georgia has called it “revelatory” and “an exhilarating collection.”

This groundbreaking work studies how 19th-century poetry was embedded in daily life for, well, just about everyone in Great Britain, from children to laborers to commuters to intellectuals. It served a wide range of functions–educational, ceremonial, recreational, and, of course, aesthetic.
