| Summary | "Victorian Songs: Lyrics of the Affections and Nature" by Edmund H. Garrett is a collection of lyrical poems published in the late 19th century. The anthology showcases a variety of songs that express themes of love, nature, and the emotional landscapes of the Victorian era, featuring works by notable poets of the time, including Tennyson and Rossetti. This compilation, adorned with illustrations and an introduction by Edmund Gosse, aims to capture the essence of Victorian sentimentality and aesthetics through verse. The opening of the collection introduces readers to its structure and thematic focus, beginning with a quote from Tennyson that sets the tone for the lyrical journey ahead. Following this, it lists various included poems, indicating a wide range of styles and subjects that delve into the human experience of love and the beauty of nature. The beginning also hints at the blend of nostalgia and emotive storytelling that characterizes the Victorian lyrical tradition, preparing readers to engage with expressions that balance both melancholy and admiration for life's fleeting moments.
