| 9th Nov 2006 | 17:30 | Academic | History of the Book Seminar | Kelvin Everest (Liverpool), 'The Composition and Publication History of Shelley's Adonais'. Shelley's elegy on Keats, Adonais, published in 1821, is one of the most difficult and controversial works of English Romanticism. This paper considers aspects of the poem's composition and its early textual transmission to address some central features of the poem's difficulty. Firstly, Shelley's method of composition can be inferred from evidence in the surviving manuscript materials, and brought into relation with questions of dating, influence, and intention. Secondly, although the textual history is by Shelleyan standards relatively straightforward, detailed consideration of variant readings in the early editions produces a stemmatic analysis of surprising and puzzling complexity. Finally, one episode in the poem's early printed history may have a significant bearing on the famous stanzas in which Shelley offers a self-portrait which has attracted much hostile commentary, and which has had an influence on the cultural significance of Shelley as a type of the idealist Romantic poet (Allhusen Room). |
