Reviews

This book is a peculiar time machine which, via a variety of routes that follow the past’s engagement with futurity, takes us back to the present. It looks back to the works of Macpherson, Blake, Scott, Keats, Mary and P.B. Shelley, and others, in order to look with and through them into the future, including our own times and beyond. -Eliza Borkowska, Associate Professor, SWPS University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Poland
