Více o knize

Focusing on the life and works of Thomas Lovell Beddoes, the book explores his journey from a promising poet and dramatist to a figure marked by radical politics and eventual deportation. His early play, The Brides' Tragedy, garnered acclaim, while his later works, including Death's Jest-Book and Collected Poems, were published after his death. Beddoes spent his final years in Switzerland and Germany, where he continued to write with little desire for publication, reflecting a complex relationship with his literary legacy.
