Asked what problems most perplexed "young men at present" Arthur
Hugh Clough (1819-1861) replied "a growing sense of discrepancy".
His wry and wise poetry explores the tensions of a time of radical
changes in the religious, political and literary landscape. He had
a sharp eye for absurdity. Clough was a writer of wide interests
and liberal sympathies, vividly idiomatic and sensuous, delighting
in the detail and variety of everyday life. His technical dexterity
is a delight: the poems encompass satire and lyric, dialogue, plot
and contemporary reference. His narrative poem "The Bothie of
Tober-Na-Vuolich" and the epistolary "Amours de Voyage" have the
momentum and social precision of novels, capturing a precise image
of the Victorian world of the 1840s. This volume includes a
selection of the full range of Clough's poetry, with a detailed
introduction and annotations by Shirley Chew.
