Reseña del editor:
Arthur Hugh Clough was the golden boy of his generation - Matthew Arnold's model pupil at Rugby and a star don at Oxford. And yet he was so tortured by philosophical doubt and sexual guilt that he eventually destroyed himself.
Reseña del editor:
Arthur Hugh Clough is the great undiscovered genius of Victorian literature. The golden hope of his generation at Rugby and Oxford, he battled against the orthodoxies of his time to produce some of the 19th century's most witty and original verse. Sexually and morally tortured, he died at a tragically early age, his health destroyed by his devotion to the cause of Florence Nightingale. In this study, Rupert Christiansen draws on newly discovered documents to present a dramatic portrait of a maverick figure, whose radical ideas about politics, religion, and women will make him vividly sympathetic to modern readers.
