From Poet to Poet Or Shelley's Inconsistencies in Keats's Panegyric
From Poet to Poet or Shelley’s Inconsistencies in Keats’s Panegyric: Adonais as an Autobiographical Work of Art by Caroline Bertonèche (Paris 3) Adonais, in short, is such an elegy as poet might be expected to write upon poet. The author has had before him his recollections of Lycidas, of Moschus and Bion, and of the doctrines of Plato; and in the stanza of the most poetical of poets, Spenser, has brought his own genius, in all its ethereal beauty, to lead a pomp of Loves, Graces, and Intelligences, in honour of the departed. (Leigh Hunt, “Unsigned Review of Adonais”, The Examiner, 7 juillet 1822)1 I have engaged these last days in composing a poem on the death of John Keats, which will shortly be finished; and I anticipate the pleasure of reading it to you, as some of the very few persons who will be interested in it and understand it. It is a highly wrought piece of art, perhaps better in point of composition than anything I have written. (Lettre de Shelley à John et Maria Gisborne, 5 juin 1821, Complete Works, X 270) When Shelley said of Adonais, not long after its completion, that it was its most accomplished piece of art, “better in point of composition than anything [he] ha[d] written” while mentioning, in his Preface, the “feeble tribute of applause” (Shelley’s Poetry and Prose 392) it nonetheless represents, he does not to seem to want to hide his own sense of personal satisfaction, nor does he fail to confess certain obvious limitations in his work as a Romantic elegist. -

National Trauma and Romantic Illusions in Percy Shelley's the Cenci
humanities Article National Trauma and Romantic Illusions in Percy Shelley’s The Cenci Lisa Kasmer Department of English, Clark University, Worcester, MA 01610, USA; [email protected] Received: 18 March 2019; Accepted: 8 May 2019; Published: 14 May 2019 Abstract: Percy Shelley responded to the 1819 Peterloo Massacre by declaring the government’s response “a bloody murderous oppression.” As Shelley’s language suggests, this was a seminal event in the socially conscious life of the poet. Thereafter, Shelley devoted much of his writing to delineating the sociopolitical milieu of 1819 in political and confrontational works, including The Cenci, a verse drama that I argue portrays the coercive violence implicit in nationalism, or, as I term it, national trauma. In displaying the historical Roman Cenci family in starkly vituperous manner, that is, Shelley reveals his drive to speak to the historical moment, as he creates parallels between the tyranny that the Roman pater familias exhibits toward his family and the repression occurring during the time of emergent nationhood in Hanoverian England, which numerous scholars have addressed. While scholars have noted discrete acts of trauma in The Cenci and other Romantic works, there has been little sustained criticism from the theoretical point of view of trauma theory, which inhabits the intersections of history, cultural memory, and trauma, and which I explore as national trauma. Through The Cenci, Shelley implies that national trauma inheres within British nationhood in the multiple traumas of tyrannical rule, shored up by the nation’s cultural memory and history, instantiated in oppressive ancestral order and patrilineage. Viewing The Cenci from the perspective of national trauma, however, I conclude that Shelley’s revulsion at coercive governance and nationalism loses itself in the contemplation of the beautiful pathos of the effects of national trauma witnessed in Beatrice, as he instead turns to a more traditional national narrative. -

With a specific focus on Richard Brinsley Peake’s 1823 gothic melodrama, Presumption; or, The Fate of Frankenstein I unpack how the novel’s cross-medium adaptation leads to a changed conception of the relationship of its central characters. In Frankenstein, Victor is the focal figure and acts as the Creature’s dominant counterpart. However, the characters’ cross-medium adaptation from page to stage inverts this Doppelgänger relationship from Shelley’s initial conception in the novel. -
The Thanatic Corporeality of Edward Onslow Ford's Shelley Memorial
Chapter 4 of David J. Getsy, Body Doubles: Sculpture in Britain, 1877-1905 (New Haven and London: Yale University Press, 2004), revised and expanded from an article of the same title published in Visual Culture in Britain 3.1 (April 2002): 53-76 4 "Hard Realism": The Thanatic Corporeality of Edward Onslow Ford's Shelley Memorial Some have skeletons in their closets; Oxford has a corpse. Since its unveiling in 1893, Edward Onslow Ford's memorial to the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley has been a disconcerting presence at University College (figs. 71, 77-81). Often met with derision, the Shelley Memorial has suf fered perennial undergraduate pranks, vandalism, and recurring attempts to bury - or at least move - this uneasy and awkward body. In art-historical accounts of the period, the work has been quietly passed over despite its importance to late Victorian sculpture and criticism.' All of this squeamishness, however, is precisely the point. Almost a century before the corpse would be explored by sculptors like Paul Thek, Robert Gober, or Marc Quinn Edward Onslow Ford brought the viewer face to face with thanatic corporeality. Ford used the commission for the ShelleyMemorial to formulate a polemical contribution to the on-going debates about the propriety and potential of sculptural verisimilitude. He employed the corpse as the embodiment of realism itself and made the figure of Shelley its poetic allegory. In this work he posited a highly self-conscious and self-reflexive articulation of verisimilitude and its overlap with the materiality of the sculptural object. Despite the fact that he would become one of the pillars of the sculptural renaissance in the 1880s and 1890s, Ford had little of the formal training in sculpture from which his col leagues benefited. -
Shelley's Hellas and the Mask of Anarchy Are Thematically, Linguistically
63 Percy Bysshe Shelley, the Newspapers of 1819 and the Language of Poetry Catherine Boyle This essay rediscovers the link between the expatriate newspaper Gali- gnani’s Messenger and Shelley’s 1819 political poetry, particularly The Mask of Anarchy and Song, To the Men of England. It is suggested that a reading of this newspaper helps us to understand Shelley’s response to the counter-revolutionary press of his day; previous accounts have tended to solely stress Shelley’s allegiance to Leigh Hunt’s politics. As well as being a contribution to book history, this essay highlights the future of the nine - teenth-century book by exploring the ways the ongoing digitization of nine - teenth-century texts can enable new readings of familiar texts. It also covers some theoretical issues raised by these readings, namely the development of the Digital Humanities and intertextual theory. I must trespass upon the forgiveness of my readers for the display of newspaper erudition to which I have been reduced. Percy Bysshe Shelley, Preface to Hellas, 1821 1 helley’s Hellas and The Mask of Anarchy are thematically, linguistically, and compositionally related , and these resemblances can lead into a close S reading of Shelley’s 1819 political poetry. Both feature revolutions: an actual Greek revolution that had already occurred, and the putative revolution after the events of the Peterloo Massacre in 1819. Both mythologize historical events. In Hellas , the figure of the Jew Ahasuerus, doomed to wander the earth eternally, appears amidst an account of historical events. In The Mask of Anarchy Shelley inserts an apocalyptic, ungendered Shape which enacts the downfall of Anarchy. -

Bloody Poetry: on the Role of Medicine in John Keats's Life and Art
Caroline Bertonèche, On the Role of Medicine in John Keat’s Life and Art Bloody Poetry: On the Role of Medicine in JoHn Keats's Life and Art Caroline Bertonèche To see Keats only as yet another British Romantic poet, author of the odes and the Hyperions, who died in exile, after one last fit of tuberculosis, is to forget that he spent as many years – six years to be precise – of his short life studying medicine as he did writing poetry. First a young apprentice to an apothecary, then a medical student from 1811 to 1816, Keats chose to start his career as an artist without completely burying his scientific past, making sure never to get rid of his old books on medicine – these books that were to previously shape his intellect before he even started putting together his collections of poems. Satisfied to have had the ability to distance himself from a rather contrasted form of education in order to favour a unified conception of knowledge, Keats will always seem to go back to those first readings as a source of reference. They are indeed the foundations of this unique rapprochement between medicine and poetry which, in British Romanticism, is certainly specific to him. It takes a visionary painter and a close friend, John Hamilton Reynolds, to remind us, in his very axiomatic letter of 3 May 1818 that Keats will never cease to praise the medical world as a means to keep “every department of knowledge” alive. From this pattern of now two complementary backgrounds, he therefore extracts the binary substance of one “great whole”1: Were I to study physic or rather Medicine again, — I feel it would not make the least difference in my Poetry; when the Mind is in its infancy a Bias is in reality a Bias, but when we have acquired more strength, a Bias becomes no Bias. -

A Walk on the Oxford Poem Road Chris: Look!
A Walk on the Oxford Poem Road (a Haibun read at the Sketches from the Poem Road Closing Celebration, in the Glass Tank, OBU, Friday 15 July 2016) (Isao rang a bell to signal changes in direction) Chris: Look! early summer is out stretching its legs in the sunshine. The wind is light and warm today. And in the Glass Tank gallery, Isao’s paper wind is blowing over the slates. We are 7 friendly writers and poets, including an artist, all eager to be out there in the wind and sunshine, walking like a group of humble Basho’s in our paper coats. Wendy: Take my hands, walk with me for part of our journey listen for the bird calling, notice one star. Chris: Isao, tell us about the Road… Isao: The Road is made of Poems you love. You want to see where they started, the place or the poet who started them. Chris: I’m already thinking of Shelley’s memorial in University College! Robert: O wild West Wind…wild spirit, which art moving everywhere… Dorothy: look at the pillars of the Oxford Brookes colonnade, new but with a patina of rust: we like the beauty of old age so much, we make the new look old! Chris: look at the bicycles locked under the roof garden, longing to escape! Dorothy: we thread our way to South Park, where there’s the smell of warm, rain-fed grass. A brown puddle. Inigo: the first part of a journey is to get to the point that it feels like the beginning of the journey 1 Robert: in spite of ourselves, we gasp at the towery city, branchy in between cranes, tipped into this basin, river-rounded honey pot. -
