Their tragedies, The Borderers and Osorio, were set in medieval Britain and early modern Spain to avoid the Lord Chamberlain's censorship. Drury Lane rejected both, but fifteen years later, Coleridge's revision, Remorse, had spectacular success there, inspiring Shelley's 1819 Roman tragedy, The Cenci, aimed for Covent Garden. Reeve Parker makes a striking case for the power of these intertwined works, written against British hostility to French republican liberties and Regency repression of home-grown agitation. Covertly, Remorse and The Cenci also turn against Wordsworth. Stressing the significance of subtly repeated imagery and resonances with Virgil, Shakespeare, Racine, Jean-François Ducis and Schiller, Parker's close readings, which are boldly imaginative and decidedly untoward, argue that at the heart of these tragedies lie powerful dramatic uncertainties driven by unstable passions - what he calls, adapting Coleridge's phrase for sorcery, 'dark employments'"--$$cProvided by publisher. 000847891 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000847891 60010 $$aWordsworth, William,$$d1770-1850$$xDramatic works. 000847891 60010 $$aColeridge, Samuel Taylor,$$d1772-1834$$xDramatic works. 000847891 60010 $$aShelley, Percy Bysshe,$$d1792-1822$$xDramatic works. 000847891 650_0 $$aVerse drama, English$$xHistory and criticism. 000847891 650_0 $$aEnglish drama (Tragedy)$$xHistory and criticism. 000847891 650_0 $$aEnglish drama$$y18th century$$xHistory and criticism. 000847891 650_0 $$aEnglish drama$$y19th century$$xHistory and criticism. 000847891 650_0 $$aRomanticism$$zGreat Britain. 000847891 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aParker, Reeve.$$tRomantic tragedies : the dark employments of Wordsworth, Coleridge, and Shelley.$$dCambridge : Cambridge University Press, 2011$$z9780521767118$$w(OCoLC)ocn664450790$$w(DLC)10878311 000847891 830_0 $$aCambridge studies in Romanticism ;$$v87. 000847891 852__ $$bebk 000847891 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=1701879$$zOnline Access 000847891 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:847891$$pGLOBAL_SET 000847891 980__ $$aEBOOK 000847891 980__ $$aBIB 000847891 982__ $$aEbook 000847891 983__ $$aOnline
