Young Romantics by Daisy Hay
Shatters the myth of the romantic poet as a solitary, introspective genius, telling the story of the communal existence of an astonishingly youthful circle.
'The originality of this engrossing narrative comes from Daisy Hay's unusual focus on the passionate allegiances and literary influences between her charactersWith great skill she weaves in and out of the lives of these poets, novelists and philosophers, their husbands, wives, lovers, children, exploring the dual nature of the creative impulse, its individuality and the stimulus of kindred spirits. It is a most impressive achievement' Michael Holroyd 'By assembling a great cast and exploring their high dramas, the author has given us a feast of a book' Edna O'Brien
Daisy Hay studied for her PhD at New Hall, Cambridge, and has recently taken up the Alistair Horne Fellowship at St. Antony's College, Oxford to research her next book. Young Romantics is her first book
