Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This article responds to the question ‘Whither Victorian Studies?’ by suggesting four profitable areas and modes for further research: (i) reception history; (ii) transnational studies; (iii) education studies; and (iv) poetry studies. By way of an exemplum, the essay then conducts a wide-ranging investigation of W. E. Henley's ‘Invictus’ (1888) and Rudyard Kipling's ‘If –’ (1910), prime instances of poems that have been widely memorised and awarded the status of national favourites in the United States and Great Britain. Employing both traditional close-reading strategies and historical analyses of the circumstances of their composition, publication, and reception, the essay argues that such a study yields at least two important benefits. In the first place, it throws light upon the nationally distinct after-effects of one of the Victorian period's most remarkable literary formations, the cultures of mass poetry recitation that were formally consolidated in the last quarter of the nineteenth century within British and American public education. In the second, it focuses attention upon the poems’ relation to national difference itself, gesturing towards the divergent attitudes to the nation's educational history, to the operation of class, and to the ideology of individualism that prevail within Great Britain and the United States.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
