'Manchester Poetry' Summary
Manchester Poetry, published in 1862, is the first published anthology of locally-written poetry in Manchester. It was compiled by editor James Wheeler to show that Manchester, despite its reputation as an industrial powerhouse, had more to offer than just spinning jennies and power looms. The collection features selections from ten Manchester-born poets, including the well-known Charles Swain. These poets explore themes of urban life, industry, nature, and personal experiences, providing a glimpse into the cultural and literary landscape of Manchester in the Victorian era.Book Details
