Scholarly ... Paley deftly illustrates how various poetic narratives of apocalypse and millennium fail to unite the two moments and are thus devoid of closure ... the study reveals a near-comprehensive grasp of the religious, literary and political manifestations of the millennial in the period., 'there is much that is familiar in these analyses, yet much that is new, subtle, and unsettling. It provides an admirable example of what careful scholarship, untainted by tendentious purposes, can unveil both in the poems and in previous schemes of their interpretation ... Paley ... has encyclopedic knowledge of the particulars of literary and political history; and he has the imagination to arrange them in revealing patterns. Anyone interested in thehistorical location of these works, in their responsiveness to and echos of the discourses of their day, and in their answerability must mine this book.'Paul Magnuson'impressive mastery of recent research. ...

Synopsis
The interrelationship of the ideas of apocalypse and millennium is a dominant concern of British Romanticism. The Book of Revelation provides a model of history in which apocalypse is followed by millennium, but in their various ways the major Romantic poets - Blake, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Byron, Keats, and Shelley - question and even at times undermine the possibility of a successful secularization of this model. No matter how confidently the sequence of apocalypse and millennium seems to be affirmed in some of the major works of the period, the issue is always in doubt: the fear that millennium may not ensue emerges as a significant, if often repressed, theme in the great works of the period. Related to it is the tension in Romantic poetry between conflicting models of history itself: history as teleology, developing towards end time and millennium, and history as purposeless cycle. This subject-matter is traced through a selection of works by the major poets, partly through an exposition of their underlying intellectual traditions, and partly through a close examination of the poems themselves., The interrelationship of apocalypse and millennium is a dominant concern in British Romanticism. The Book of Revelation provides a model of history in which apocalypse is followed by millennium, but the major Romantic poets - Blake, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Byron, Keats, and Shelley - question and even at times undermine the possibility of a successful secularization of this model. Is history developing towards end time and millennium, or is it cyclical and purposeless? The fear that millennium may not ensue on apocalypse emerges as a major, if often repressed, theme in the great works of the period., The interrelationship of apocalypse and millennium is a dominant concern in British Romanticism. The Book of Revelation provides a model of history in which apocalypse is followed by millennium, but the major Romantic poets question the possibility of a successful secularization of this model. Is history developing towards end time and millennium, or is it cyclical and purposeless?

    Great service! The item purchased was unfortunately unavailable due to a glitch in the vendor's inventory system. It was disappointing. The vendor reached out explaining the situation and provided a timely apology and refund. Very good communication. Given the circumstances and the responsiveness of the vendor, I would definitely revisit. I appreciate you managing what was likely an uncomfortable experience for all involved 🙂 Thanks!
