301 pp. A good and clean copy. - Summary: This study traces the poetic development of Arthur Hugh Clough through a methodological approach based on close readings of his most important works with separate chapters devoted to the three great poems of his maturity: The Bothie of Toper-na-Fuosich, Amours de Voyage and Dipsychus. Attention is also given to the socio-cultural context and the religious and political debates which contributed in shaping Clough s artistic and ideological vision, particularly through the influential figures of Thomas Arnold, John Henry Newman and Ralph Waldo Emerson. That Clough remains to this day one of the most neglected nineteenth-century writers is all the more remarkable given the importance of his intellectual contribution to his times and his radical questioning of religious faith, traditional values and poetic norms. - Contents: RUGBY VERSES Childhood, Rugby and Thomas Arnold -- Thoughts from Home -- An Incident -- OXFORD VERSES Newman and Tractarianism -- Truth is a Golden Thread; Blank Misgivings -- A QUESTIONING SPIRIT The New Sinai -- The Mystery of the Fall -- Easter Day I and II -- POLITICAL AND SATIRICAL VERSES Carlyle, Emerson and Republicanism -- Matthew Arnold -- Say Not the Struggle Nought Availeth -- Duty - that s to say complying; The Latest Decalogue; Natura Naturans -- THE BOTHIE OF TOPER-NA-FUOSICH Clough's Hexameters -- The Bothie of Tober-na-Fuosich -- AMOURS DE VOYAGE Clough's Poetic Persona -- Amours de Voyage -- DIPSYCHUS Clough's manuscripts -- Dipsychus.
