"Nearly 1400 poets from labouring-class origins wrote and published in Great Britain between 1700-1900, yet much of their work has yet to be properly examined. This study focuses upon how these writers represented nature in their poetry and how they adapted and transformed the poetic genres available to them."--BOOK JACKET.
