Articoli correlati a Being Shelley: The Poet's Search for Himself
Economist editor and biographer Wroe gives us a book about one of the greatest poets in the Western tradition, that is concerned at once with the making of poetry and the transforming power of it. With elegance of style and immersion in Shelley's work, this book aims to turn the poet's life inside out: rather than tracing the events of a life in which poetry erupts occasionally, it tracks the inner journey of a spirit struggling to escape and create. In her own quest to understand Shelley, Wroe takes up the questions that consume the poet himself: Who, or what, was he? What was his purpose? Where had he come from? And where was he going? By answering those questions, Shelley sought to free and empower not only himself, but the entire human race.--From publisher description.A portrait of one of the world's foremost poets traces the inner journey of an artist struggling to create and escape, addressing Shelley's personal quest to understand himself, his purpose, and his spiritual and aesthetic vision.

Recensione:
Praise for Ann Wroe's Pontius Pilate
"Sublime... For a long time this book will remain the definitive study of Pilate."
--The Washington Post Book World
"Compelling, eloquent, and vivid... In a superb blend of scholarship and creativity, Wroe brings this elusive yet pivotal figure to life."
--The Boston Globe
"A veritable treasure trove of history, legend, fascinating information, and thought-provoking speculation."
--The Christian Science Monitor
"By turns enchanting, learned, urbane, nimble, touching, caustic, and playful... As a portrait of a flawed man caught up in the adventure of being good, it is both sobering and inspiring. As an indirect portrait of Jesus, it is unique."
--The Providence Journal
"Triumphant... It is Wroe's achievement that her Pilate, cloaked in infamy, connects at almost every turn, in his humdrum humanity, to her readers."
--Cleveland Plain-Dealer
