i didnt process any of this book 😍 it was so dull

it was more ‘intellectual and cultural context’ and less of how this directly impacted english lit but maybe im wrong and it just didnt spoon feed me information. regardless, very dull- i had to read 50 pages summarizing various books about geology published in the victorian age and i actually cried.

this is by far the best of these anthology-types I've read so far. it will be my primary secondary field resource going forward

outdated in some bits, but provided some useful context for PRB and victorian art - a slay! also, cannot believe that the original PRB were all under TWENTY-THREE? and i’m out here doing nothing fr

For my AS class. Simple and straightfoward. I might look for the Romantics book in this series.
