description: Describes the characteristic kinds of criticism that have been directed at the Victorian dramatic monologue, focusing on three representative critical definitional methods; criticism based on intellectual history; and intertextual criticism based on the development of poetic forms. Shows how all three strands of criticism have failed to capture the rich workings of the dramatic monologue, and presents a new methodology which incorporates the strengths of each.
