Eternity in British Romantic Poetry explores the representation of
the relationship between eternity and the mortal world in the
poetry of the period. It offers an original approach to Romanticism
that demonstrates, against the grain, the dominant intellectual
preoccupation of the era: the relationship between the mortal and
the eternal. The project's scope is two-fold: firstly, it analyses
the prevalence and range of images of eternity (from apocalypse and
afterlife to transcendence) in Romantic poetry; secondly, it opens
up a new and more nuanced focus on how Romantic poets imagined and
interacted with the idea of eternity. Every poet featured in the
book seeks and finds their uniqueness in their apprehension of
eternity. From Blake's assertion of the Eternal Now to Keats's
defiance of eternity, Wordsworth's 'two consciousnesses' versus
Coleridge's capacious poetry, Byron's swithering between versions
of eternity compared to Shelleyan yearning, and Hemans's
superlative account of everlasting female suffering, each poet
finds new versions of eternity to explore or reject. This monograph
sets out a paradigm-shifting approach to the aesthetic and
philosophical power of eternity in Romantic poetry.
