Tennyson's Rapture (eBook, ePUB)

Transformation in the Victorian Dramatic Monologue

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book explores Tennyson's representation of rapture as a radical mechanism of transformation--theological, social, political, or personal--and as a figure for critical processes in his own poetics. Offering a new approach to reading Victorian dramatic monologues, Pearsall probes the complex aims of these performances, showing how speakers' ambitions are both articulated in, and attained through, their consequential speech.
