Tennyson's Rapture: Transformation in the Victorian Dramatic Monologue
Pearsall, Cornelia D. J. (Assistant Professor, Department of English, Assistant Professor, Department of English, Smith College, Northampton, MA, United States)
This book explores Tennyson's representation of rapture as a radical mechanism of transformation-theological, social, political, or personal-and as a figure for critical processes in his own poetics. Offering a new approach to reading Victorian dramatic monologues, Pearsall probes the complex aims of these performances, showing how speakers' ambitions are both articulated in, and attained through, their consequential speech.
