    What you've written is a bit vague. What exactly are you looking at in regards to romance?

    Rikkit, you know Morrisonhotel is right. If you need help and need it fast and you do sound pretty deparate on your posts... You need to explain clearly what your assignment is and then do a bullet point on things you would like to know about the genre. Y'know everyone happy to help and this website is a mine of information on everything related to literature. You're in clover! As always wishing you luck . Will check out your next posting to see if I can help. H.

    I have to find examples of Romance in victorian literature and poetry. ...
    so it would be like,

    Romance appears in many pieces of Victorian literature, such as in the novel ____ by _____. " _______" (then i would have a quote that shows romance.. like something about love and touching or candlelight, dancing or whatever, etc.)

    I was wondering if anyone knows any books or novels or poems with romance in them?
    thank youuuuu

    One thing that you might want to play with is the poetry of Alfred Lord Tennyson from before and after the coronation of Vicky. Notice the lack of change. While the Victorian Era is called after the Queen, the philosophical underpinnig was already in place.

    Try any of the following: Tennyson (e.g. 'Lady of Shallott'), Browning (e.g. 'Meeting at Night') and Barrett Browning (e.g. 'How do I love thee? Let me count the ways' or 'Aurora Leigh'). From what you've written above, I think you might need a bit more of a pointed discussion - do you have a question or a statement you are working from?

    Also, take a look at this site, it gives a good breakdown of Love and the Brownings: http://classiclit.about.com/od/lovel...a_browning.htm

    Read Please!

    Can anyone please describe to me the language of Victorian literature? I'm doing a paragraph on "Victorian language" and how the literature is written.. I think it's "prudent" and proper and everything, but does anyone know anything else? Thanks!
