Description

"Resurrection Songs: The Poetry of Thomas Lovell Beddoes brings together the poet's abiding obsession - the search for immortality - and the most prominent formal feature of his writing - fragmentation. Michael Bradshaw examines how the idea of resurrection acts upon and is acted upon by the structural disarray of Beddoes's texts. The study centres on the phenomenon of broken form on various levels, and charts the progressive involution of the theme. Addressing contexts such as Beddoes's relationships with Romantic and Renaissance forbears and the influence of his medical training, Resurrection Songs is a timely re-assessment which establishes Beddoes's relevance to the contemporary debates of Romanticism."--Jacket.
