About this book
Poets who later won wide recognition often met sharp resistance from their first reviewers. John Louis Haney gathers early notices of English poetry, choosing judgments that differ from later assessments as well as examples of prompt appreciation. The collection ranges from Gray and Goldsmith to Tennyson and Browning, with reviews drawn from literary periodicals. Haney's preface also considers the emotional cost of criticism and the appeal of a witty attack.
An introduction surveys the growth of literary journals, while the collected reviews let readers hear the critics themselves. In the notice of Byron's Hours of Idleness, for instance, the reviewer treats the young poet's appeal to his age as a case to be argued in court. The volume offers material for readers interested in how literary reputations form, how reviewers use ridicule, and how judgments about poetry change over time.
