This tripartite monograph sets out to present the full case for Shakespeare's authorship of the Additions to the 1602 quarto of "The Spanish Tragedy", the high literary quality of which has long been recognized thanks primarily to Lamb and Coleridge.

History & Criticism

Edwin Mellen Pr

This book studies and articulates the emergence from the poetical subtext of six major English romantics of "the androgynous sublime," a mode that conflates the motif of psychic androgyny (traceable as far back as the Book of Genesis and Plato's Symposium) with the mode of sublimity, first discussed by Longinus and much debated from the eighteenth century onward. Frequently echoed by the romantic poets, Milton's description of the Holy Spirit's role in the creation of the world is androgynous. Since humane creativity mirrors divine creativity, it follows that the artist qua artist muct also be androgynous - that is, endowed with what Lyrical Ballads, calls "a more comprehensive soul" than is "supposed to be common among mankind." Characterized by a flexuous, limber style and an association with androgynous subject matter, the androgynous sublime subverts conventional notions of sublimity while offering a more comprehensive model with which to supplement, of non supplant, them. The methodology of this study is to present a "counter-deconstructive" reading of the text and, where applicable, designs of Blake, as well as the poetry of Wordsworth, Coleridge, Byron, Shelley, and Keats, seen from this somewhat novel but not ignoble perspective.

This is decidedly modern, 20th C, Canadian poetry betraying deep sympathy with the rhetorical apparatus and verse-forms of traditionalism. This collection, apart from a handful of extremely serious lyrics, displays eclectic tendencies and, in particular, in the form of an interesting cross-section of poems in free form and quite a bit of light verse. The philosophy behind the title poem, INFERNAL / SUPERNAL LOVE, is heavily influenced by Blakean notions, (such as The Marriage of Heaven and Hell), and Stevenson's outlook, particularly in his more serious moments, owes much to the great British Romantics ...
