Reviews
Imagining anyone more widely read than Percy Shelley is difficult, but O'Neill (Durham Univ., UK) has the ability to discover Shelley's slightest allusions and to trace his inheritance in later texts -- an ability that speaks to O'Neill's mastery of a remarkable range of texts. ... O'Neill's nuanced and perceptive tracing of Shelley's allusiveness reveals how Shelley re-created texts and genres, but O'Neill also produces an original, sophisticated understanding of Shelley's complex relations with his predecessors and contemporaries, and of how his poetry initiates a rewarding dialogue with future readers and writers. This study will be of interest to scholars of Shelley and 19th-century British poetry, but also to those interested in rethinking the complexity of intertextuality. ... Highly recommended. -- D. D. Schierenbeck, CHOICE
