Manchester Poetry

by James Wheeler

Manchester Poetry, edited by James Wheeler, is a groundbreaking anthology that showcases the vibrant literary scene of Manchester in the Victorian era. Published in 1862, this collection dispels the notion that the city, known for its industrial prowess, lacked cultural depth. Wheeler brings together ten talented Manchester-born poets, including the renowned Charles Swain. Their diverse voices explore themes of urban life, industry, nature, and personal experiences, providing a rich tapestry of the city's literary landscape.
