Opis

Beginning with John Keats and tracing a line of influence through Alfred Lord Tennyson and Gerard Manley Hopkins, Tontiplaphol draws on established narratives of the nineteenth century's social and literary developments to describe the relationship between poetics and luxury in an age when imperial trade and domestic consumerism reached a fevered pitch. Her book is at once a study of influence, a socio-historical critique and a form-focused assessment of three century-defining voices.

BARS Bulletin ’... sections of the book function as something close to a poetically rich biography... compelling, and point[s] the way towards future work on the relationship between literature and commodity culture.’ Tennyson Research Bulletin
