    The Age of Post-Romanticism Modo de Compatibilidad

    Uploaded by

    laura
    Victorian poetry moved away from Romantic expressionism towards more objective forms. Poets emphasized external realities over internal experiences and used dramatic monologues, long narratives, and visual/auditory details to reveal character objectively. Works like Browning's "My Last Duchess" and Tennyson's "Ulysses" exemplified this transition to dramatic monologues that engaged the reader through self-revelation from a character's perspective. Victorian poetry reflected the uncertainties of the age through realistic subjects and debate over aesthetics and morality.
