Critics and poets in a stern appraisal of Arnold and Landor

A lengthy critique surveys reviews of Arnold and Landor, praising and condemning their poetry. It argues Arnold lacks faith and hope, calling his works self centered and morbid, while Landor is admired for cadence yet deemed unsuitable for wide popularity. It casts doubt on modern poetry’s moral compass.

Arnold Poems a Mixed Critical Portraits of Sorrow

Homer’s Iliad in English Rhymed Verse Review

Dr Merivale’s two volume translation of Homer’s Iliad into English ballad measure earns praise for readability to non scholars. He captures the epic spirit with accessible diction, noting ballad form suits English poetry as hexameter suits Greek. The translator’s onomatopoetic renderings and full catalogue of forces are highlighted as exceptionally readable.
