description: The three essays in this book on Beddoes' Death's Jest Book, Shelley's Prometheus Unbound, and Keats' Endymion are meant to be illustrative of Frye's thesis of a change in the language of poetic mythology as the principal feature of the Romantic movement. While they are all closely argued pieces of work, carefully analytical studies, there remains always present Frye's sense of the essential virtue of the Romantic poets: that they preserve the feeling that at the heart of the best and fullest life is something antisocial, or more accurately, something beyond society, which is still essential to human identity.
