Joseph Severn accompanied Keats to Rome and was at his bedside when the poet died. Research for the essay began with the discovery of a painting in 1993. The Infant of the Apocalypse Caught up to Heaven occupied ten years of Severn’s life. Its star-crossed history provides an intriguing narrative, epitomising the irreverence towards Severn’s stature as an artist. This altarpiece in the Papal Basilica of St Paul outside the Walls, and many other acclaimed paintings by Severn displayed in galleries worldwide, challenge the received wisdom that Severn’s fame resulted entirely from his relationship with Keats. Finding the missing painting in Rome thirty years ago initiated this essay.","PeriodicalId":41387,"journal":{"name":"KEATS-SHELLEY REVIEW","volume":"37 1","pages":"46 - 54"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43632574","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Keats often refers to the idea that poetry can alleviate the harsh realities of human life and reconcile ourselves to our situation.

This essay engages in a close reading of central passages from Hyperion, the Odes and ‘Bright Star’ in which Keats negotiates his competing notions of the poet as ‘a physician to all men’ and ‘a dreaming thing’.","PeriodicalId":41387,"journal":{"name":"KEATS-SHELLEY REVIEW","volume":"37 1","pages":"66 - 70"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59446345","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The topic of the essay is explored through work by Timothy Morton on Shelley’s vegetarianism and also on ‘dark ecology’, trying to juxtapose the concept of diet on the one side, and the idea of ecological awareness on the other side with revolutionary/reformist intentions inscribed in Shelley’s transformative rhetoric of his vegetarian discourse. The main focus of the essay is Shelley’s A Vindication of Natural Diet as part of lengthy notes for Queen Mab (printed in 1813), close read as the part of the whole textual body within which it appears. The topic of the essay is explored through the reception of Shelley’s poetry in the context of ecocriticism trying to address contemporary ecological issues and its reminiscences within Western civilization.","PeriodicalId":41387,"journal":{"name":"KEATS-SHELLEY REVIEW","volume":"37 1","pages":"60 - 65"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47693416","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present study aims to interpret the poem as a manifestation of Shelley’s consciousness. To that end, I analyse Ginevra through two frames – that of the biographical and that of the intrapsychic, focusing particularly on the mechanisms of shame, revenge, and desire. My discussion argues that what is at stake in interpreting Ginevra is Shelley’s severed relationship with Emilia Viviani whom he had elevated to a status of sanctity in Epipsychidion. The method of the paper is to trace the double structure of Shelley’s consciousness – his awareness of Emilia’s marriage and imagined inconstancy, his private state of despair and public state of disgrace. How these aspects of Shelley’s experience were transformed into art is the paper’s subject. Freud’s theory of fetishism, Kernberg’s theory of narcissism and Christopher Bollas’s ideas of transitional objects inform my argument.","PeriodicalId":41387,"journal":{"name":"KEATS-SHELLEY REVIEW","volume":"36 1","pages":"78 - 92"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42456638","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The 1820 volumes include the poets’ anguished self-portraits, defining Romanticism for later readers. The poems also should be read as the poets’ continuing dialogue about the nature and function of art. For Keats, great art is a ‘balm and comfort’ to suffering humanity, uniting beauty and truth, implicitly telling later generations: ‘that is all ye know on Earth, and all ye need to know.’ Shelley, in contrast, is a prophet of revolution. Driven by his ‘passion for reforming the world’, he sees art as an intercessor between the oppressed and their society, urging by precept and example that human beings have the power to change their lives. The dialogue goes back to the earliest works of the poets, and remains unresolved in their last unfinished works, Shelley’s Triumph of Life and Keats’s Fall of Hyperion. For us, the dialogue, still unresolved, remains of supreme interest.","PeriodicalId":41387,"journal":{"name":"KEATS-SHELLEY REVIEW","volume":"36 1","pages":"72 - 77"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46325847","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
