William Gilbert and Esoteric Romanticism

A Contextual Study and Annotated Edition of 'The Hurricane'

Beschreibung

This first annotated edition of William Gilbertâ s enigmatic poem, The Hurricane: a Theosophical and Western Eclogue, with extended interpretative chapters informed by Gilbertâ s magical and astrological writings, shows how its dark materials fed the imaginations of his friends Coleridge, Wordsworth and Southey, in their formative years between 1795 and 1798.
