Synopsis

Despite being an expatriate in Italy far from the English literary scene whose poems were largely not reprinted until 1984, Jackson (English, U. of Auckland) and the foreword writer treat Lee-Hamilton as a very good poet if not one quite of the caliber of his mentor Browning, and a link between major figures of Romanticism and Modernism. The text includes selected works in chronological order, from Poems and Transcripts (1878) to Mimma Bella (1909). Themes reflect his long struggle with symptoms suggestive of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Indexed by title and first line. Includes a photograph of Lee-Hamilton circa 1866. Annotation c.
