Abstract
|
"Callaghan explores the poetic heroism developed in Byron and Shelley’s poetry and drama. The book traces how the heroism of the poet, as an idea, an ideal, and an illusion, undergoes many different incarnations and definitions as both poets shape distinctive and changing conceptions of the hero throughout their careers"-- Provided by publisher.
