As literary critics have redefined Oscar Wilde as one of the last great Victorians, anthologized works following the major authors' approach cannot ignore his many works, nor those of his mentor, Walter Pater. Christopher Nassaar has compiled a comprehensive selection of these and other 19th century authors. Pater's essay on Leonardo da Vinci, as well as his short story, 'The Child in the House' are contained in this volume, along with eight of Wilde's works. Also included are: Carlyle, Mill, Tennyson, Browning, Newman, Arnold, Hopkins, and Ruskin.

. . . 'The Victorians' can be recommended to undergraduate teachers of the period who often complain of the pressure of classroom time that often makes it impossible to treat in any depth the many minor writers without sacrificing the attention the major figures deserve.>>> (English Literature In Transition 1880-1920 )
The book may serve some as a healthy counterweight to the trend towards the inclusion of many more score writers than can possible be accommodated in a single semester course.>>>> (Victorian Poetry )
