{"product_id":"working-verse-in-victorian-scotland-kirstie-blair-9780198843795","title":"Working Verse in Victorian Scotland: Poetry, Press, Community","description":"This volume reassesses working-class poetry and poetics in Victorian Britain, using Scotland as a focus and with particular attention to the role of the popular press in fostering and disseminating working-class verse cultures. It studies a very wide variety of writers who are unknown to scholarship, and assesses the political, social, and cultural work which their poetry performed. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDuring the Victorian period, Scotland underwent unprecedented changes in terms of industrialization, the rise of the city, migration, and emigration. This study shows how poets who defined themselves as part of a specifically Scottish tradition responded to these changes. It substantially revises our understanding of Scottish literature in this period, while contributing to wider investigations of the role of popular verse in national and international cultures.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kirstie Blair\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0198843798\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198843795\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/19\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 244\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2021","brand":"Kirstie Blair","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43996712304895,"sku":"9780198843795","price":105.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e9de19b1-d73f-4bc9-848c-d0aa0775a61f.jpg?v=1683343257","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/working-verse-in-victorian-scotland-kirstie-blair-9780198843795","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
