About This Book
"In Victorian Poetry as Cultural Critique, E. Warwick Slinn explores works by Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Robert Browning, Arthur Hugh Clough, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, and Augusta Webster, arguing that a fundamental continuity between the meaning of a poetic trope and the social function of language can be established through speech act theory - specifically through the linguistically based model of performativity."--Jacket.
