I didn't like it either, probably because I'm not into most Victorian poetry(1), and it was full of Victorian-style poetry-- I could appreciate the accuracy, but I didn't enjoy it. Sounds like I should give her short fiction a try, though.

She always wrote like herself, but across a wide range of tones and subjects, so it is definitely worth trying a couple of collections to see if anything clicks. They were not all full of Victorian poetry, although one of my favorites, "The Conjugial Angel" (1992), does have Tennyson on the periphery. (But also some wonderful séances and a terrifying angel.) Data point noted and appreciated.
