Synopsis

This book presents a thought-provoking analysis of the works of three prominent poets of the 19th century, Shelley, Tennyson, and Browning, examining their conceptions of immortality. Delving into the social, cultural, and intellectual climate of the era, the author explores how the poets' personal beliefs and experiences shaped their unique visions of an afterlife. The book unveils a panorama of ideas, from the dreamy idealism of Shelley, through Tennyson's journey towards faith, to Browning's resolute affirmation of progress and perfection of character. By juxtaposing these perspectives, this book offers a nuanced understanding of the evolution of the concept of immortality in a time of profound societal change.
