Shelley's Unknown Eros
Whether Percy Bysshe Shelley's Epipsychidion-a Platonic poem on love addressed to the patriarchally imprisoned Theresa Viviani or "Emily"-receives praise or blame has generally been determined by two focal passages: a secular sermon on free love and a planetary allegorical thinly veiling his own imbroglio. This essay re-reads Shelley's 1821 work drawing on two recent arguments: Stuart Curran's Dantean call to take the poem's Florentine narrator s…
Forgiving Wordsworth
This paper investigates the role of Romantic forgiveness in the poetics of Leigh Hunt amid the often turbulent interaction between the first and second generations of British Romantics over politics, culture, and religion. While recent studies of the “Hunt Circle” or “Cockney Circle” by Jeffrey Cox, Charles Mahoney, and others have recovered the combative edge of Hunt's literary and political relationship with “apostate” poets such as William Wor…

However, the politics and social strife surrounding the romantic stage render Coleridge's the…
