Laugh-Out-Loud Victorian Poetry Moira Allen

Poetry has always been "the language of love," but as this delightful collection demonstrates, the course of true love rarely runs smoothly! In this volume, you'll get a Victorian glimpse of Cupid as reporter, meet a woman whose marriage depends upon her pearly teeth, and find out who, on Valentine's day, is the most "sought-after" man of all! You'll also meet the "new" Victorian woman - the bluestocking, the Girton Girl, the Crystal Gazer - who proves to be an interesting challenge for the ardent Victorian suitor! Discover the perils of building "castles in Spain," meet the remarkable Advertising Girl, find out how a Frenchman seeks his hat and gains a wife, and get a look at an unusual agricultural courtship. You'll fall in love with this collection!
