ABSTRACT This essay explores some aspects of the complex relationship between prophecies, poems, and dreams in Keats’s poetry. Keats often refers to the idea that poetry can alleviate the harsh realities of human life and reconcile ourselves to our situation. But can the poet rely on the dreaming imagination to achieve this effect? This essay engages in a close reading of central passages from Hyperion

Gone with the (West) Wind: Shelley, Apostrophe, and Inept Interpellation The Keats-Shelley Review Pub Date : 2023-06-16 Kaushik Tekur
ABSTRACT In this essay, I read Shelley’s ‘Ode to the West Wind’ as dramatizing the paradox of the apostrophe as a poetic device. Shelley presents a case where the speaker fails to understand the limitations of apostrophes before eventually realizing the revolutionary possibilities the serious (and embarrassing) employment of this device opens up. I read the poem alongside Althusser’s formulation of

Shelley’s Gone Girl: Morbid Cherishing in Ginevra The Keats-Shelley Review Pub Date : 2023-01-26 Kathleen J. Schultheis
ABSTRACT Ginevra is one of Shelley’s most overlooked poems, possibly because of its status as fragment. The present study aims to interpret the poem as a manifestation of Shelley’s consciousness. To that end, I analyse Ginevra through two frames – that of the biographical and that of the intrapsychic, focusing particularly on the mechanisms of shame, revenge, and desire. My discussion argues that what

‘That Path Where Flowers Never Grew’: Pageantry as Fertility Going Awry in ‘The Triumph of Life’ The Keats-Shelley Review Pub Date : 2023-01-26 Pauline Hortolland
ABSTRACT In this essay, I use the notion of fertility to examine what is left of Erasmus Darwin’s influence on Percy Shelley in his last, unfinished poem, ‘The Triumph of Life’. My aim is to shed light on Shelley’s use of pageantry in this poem in a new way, bearing in mind Darwin’s frequent use of botanical pageants in The Loves of the Plants and in The Temple of Nature, that is, poems which notoriously

Tyndall’s work as a Victorian physicist is introduced, along with his lesser-known canon of poetry.

The Soundscapes of Childhood in Coleridge’s Lyric Poetry The Keats-Shelley Review Pub Date : 2022-07-09 Jai Rane
ABSTRACT This article explores portrayals of childhood in Coleridge’s poetry in the light of the poet’s own objections to Wordsworth’s description of a child as a philosopher in Ode: Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood. Coleridge suggests that by forcing adult ideas of rationality upon the child, Wordsworth undermines the uniqueness of childhood as a separate form of consciousness

Perspectives on Peterloo at 200: Construing and Representing the Event The Keats-Shelley Review Pub Date : 2021-11-01 Marco Canani
ABSTRACT The tragedy that became crystallized in cultural memory as ‘Peterloo’ provided one of the darkest pages in British history, but also one of the best documented nineteenth-century events. The interest of the press, and the large number of participants, produced a polyphonic, multifarious corpus made of reports, eyewitness accounts, memoirs and testimonies, as well as poetic and prose texts

‘Rise Now from Your Slumber’: Ballads and Songs of Peterloo The Keats-Shelley Review Pub Date : 2021-11-01 Alison Morgan
ABSTRACT In the months following the Peterloo Massacre, an array of poems and songs was published in radical newspapers or as broadside ballads, the first of which appeared in the Manchester Observer a mere five days after the event. What is of import regarding Peterloo's literature is the speed with which it was written and published as well as the range of genres used by the largely anonymous balladeers

Peterloo and ‘Fairburn’s Editions’ The Keats-Shelley Review Pub Date : 2021-11-01 Gary Kelly
ABSTRACT John Fairburn's London firm published cheap print of many kinds, though often with a reformist political bent, over half a century from the 1790s. Among this prolific output was a poem entitled The Field of Waterloo in the year of that event. In price and address, however, this was somewhat of an outlier in their mass of sixpenny pamphlets.

ABSTRACT In the aftermath of the Peterloo massacre, the ongoing collaboration between William Hone and George Cruikshank in the milieu of the London-based radical press resulted in a number of wildly satirical hybrid publications, including A Slap at Slop and the Bridge Street Gang, a dazzling parody of a four-page daily newspaper (1821). In a unique combination of text and image, the two mock newspaper

Talking about Peterloo: Manifold Oratory Speeches during the Romantic Period The Keats-Shelley Review Pub Date : 2021-11-01 Serena Baiesi
ABSTRACT The Romantic era heralded a new age of rhetoric in which the spoken word was cultivated into a truly eloquent form: the art of oratory. Such forms of expression – used both within and beyond the realm of parliamentary debates – were frequently adopted by radical speakers, who sought to promote freedom of speech and advocated for the working class to be granted more rights.

Is the Criticism of John Keats’s Doctors Justified? A Bicentenary Re-Appraisal The Keats-Shelley Review Pub Date : 2021-06-23 Sean P Hughes, Noel Snell
ABSTRACT John Keats died of consumption in Italy on 23 February 1821. He was treated both in London and in Rome by eminent physicians who have over time been criticized for failing to diagnose that Keats had pulmonary tuberculosis. The evidence for this censure, from the letters of Keats and his companions, along with the publications of Dr James Clark, his physician in Rome, is reviewed and the contemporary
