Summary
This volume presents selections from Coventry Patmore’s poetry, not as a conventional best-of collection but as passages chosen for the way they embody delight and sorrow. It emphasizes the union of thought and form in his work, especially in the earlier poems and odes, and treats his voice as distinctive within nineteenth-century English poetry. The discussion also highlights his use of domestic subjects, colloquial phrasing, and varied meter.
