It kinda did in here. As the "wider public for the most part lost interest in long poems during the Victorian period," she writes, and inclusion in a prestigious Victorian poetry anthology became crucial for continued prominence, Southey and Crabbe lost ground, and those whose corpus included shorter lyric poems gained. "Suitability for children" also mattered as the teaching of poetry became key for sustaining reputations, as did "susceptibility to pictorial illustration" in an era when publishers sought to improve poetry’s market share through visuals. This example tells how fame was achieved in victorian period, so writers who wrote short poems which are also suitable for children at the same time worked. She didn't mention any explicit works which rose to fame because of that. I guess we have to read the book to find out. |
