Bringing together eminent scholars and emerging critics who offer a
range of perspectives and critical methods, this collection sets a
new standard in Beddoes criticism. In line with the goals of
Ashgate's Research Companion series, the editors and contributors
provide an overview of Beddoes's criticism and identify significant
new directions in Beddoes studies. These include exploring
Beddoes's German context, only recently a site of critical
attention; reading Beddoes's plays in light of gender theory; and
reassessing Beddoes's use of dramatic genre in the context of
recent work by theatre historians. Rounding out the volume are
essays devoted to key areas in Beddoes's scholarship such as
nineteenth-century medical theories, psychoanalytic myth, and
Romantic ventriloquism. This collection makes the case for
Beddoes's centrality to contemporary debates about
nineteenth-century literary culture and its contexts and his
influence on Modernist conceptions of literature.
