  • Summary

    The Introduction outlines the intermedial method of this book, which brings together Milton with nineteenth-century writers and artists who engage with each other’s work at the same time as reading Milton directly. It provides an overview of Milton’s place in the visual and material culture of the long nineteenth century. This includes the literary galleries of the late eighteenth century, the development of proto-cinematic technologies and stage spectacles, illustration on canvas and the page, and interventions in books such as extra-illustration and marginalia. The Introduction also addresses the various metaphors drawn from Milton’s writing that scholars have used to explain his influence, comparing him to a ghost, a troll, a father, even God. It then proposes the epic simile as a useful model for the way Milton is understood in this book: just as Milton’s similes describing Satan suggest, a powerful figure can be like many disparate things at the same time.

Reading Keats's Letters
  • An Epistolary Poetics

  • John Keats's personal letters are widely considered to be some of the finest in the English language – and in any language: the most inventive, most brilliant, most moving. While they have been frequently mined for the rich insight they provide into Keats's tragically short life and his famous poems, this original reading takes a new approach to explore the challenges and opportunities involved in close-reading the letters as literary works in their own right. This is the first full-length critical study of Keats's letters, accounting for their unique power and rhetorical brilliance while also developing a framework for the formal literary study of the personal letter. With chapters covering the art of letter-writing, becoming a poet, epistolarity and literary criticism, friendship and correspondence, touch, intimacy, distance, and love, Bennett's book offers a comprehensive reading of the letters as a body of work and contributes impactfully to the poetics of letter-writing.
