Victorian poets were among the most active reformers in an age of reform, intensely restructuring poetic form to reflect upon, contend with, and influence their swiftly changing world. They devoted a tremendous amount of their reconfiguring energy to the body of Christ, understood both as the person of Christ and as those who are members of Christ. For many Victorian poets, reforming poetry entailed reformulating and reimagining Christ's body, often as an agent of reform in the world. In this class, we will examine this vital aspect of Victorian literature and culture in dialogue with rare items at the Armstrong Browning Library. You will create presentations and blog posts on these rare items, and supplement your posts with related entries on our class timeline and map on COVE.
