"Before the Victorian era there were very few famous female poets. In the early nineteenth century writing was still seen as a predominantly male preserve. However despite views such as this the Victorian period saw the emergence of many important female poets" (Taken from this site).
The Victorian period is definitely my favorite era, regardless of sexual prominence. I like that the poets were very promiscuous, as far as standardized methods of poetry. I like that they exploited different forms in order to find something authentic in their forms. Great stuff.
