My new article, ‘Shelley’s Numerals’, is now available in The Review of English Studies.
It explores the mysterious numerical notations and calculations in the poet’s manuscripts and notebooks, and considers how literary critics might close read numerals. doi.org/10.1093/res/hgag032

'My studies have since my writing [St. Irvyne] been of a more serious nature. I am at present engaged in completing a series of moral & metaphysical essays. Perhaps their copy-right would be accepted in lieu of part of my debt?'

'This country [Wales] is highly romantic here are rocks of immense height, & picturesque waterfalls. I am more astonished at the grandeur of this scenery than I expected. I do not now much regard it. I have other things to think of. —'

[Consumption] is a disease particularly fond of people who write such good verses as you have done... I do not think that young & aimiable poets are at all bound to gratify its taste; they have entered into no bond with the Muses to that effect.

A gorgeous review by the wonderful @annecater that captures so much of what I hoped to achieve with The Drownings
24 Jul 2024
This is a stylish, atmospheric read that is totally gripping. Packed with modern up-to-date issues combined with historical detail that has contributed so much to societal faults of today.

These glaciers flow perpetually into the valley ravaging in their slow but irresistible progress the pastures & the forests which surround them, & performing a work of desolation in ages which a river of lava might accomplish in an hour...
