Description
Arthur Hugh Clough: A World Beyond Himself John Schad presents a unique perspective on Arthur Hugh Clough, a poet often misunderstood by his contemporaries. Schad argues that Clough's poetry is not about him, but rather about the many worlds he writes of - from the traditional world of Oxford to the turbulent cities of Europe and the quiet desperation of his final years. Through Clough's work, Schad reveals a complex figure who navigates multiple worlds with ease. His poetry is characterized by its subtlety and nuance, offering a glimpse into the intellectual and cultural currents of his time. This book provides a fresh understanding of Clough's life and work, one that challenges conventional views and offers a new appreciation for this fascinating poet. By exploring Clough's world, Schad sheds light on the poet's enduring relevance and importance in literary history.
