Synopsis

The Bothie of Tober-Na-Vuolich is an exemplary narrative poem that intricately weaves themes of romantic idealism, social critique, and the quest for spiritual truth. Set against the picturesque backdrop of the Scottish Highlands, Clough employs a conversational and contemplative literary style, reflecting on the lives of a group of students and their interactions with the world around them. The poem's rich imagery and fluid structure invite readers to ponder the dichotomy between nature and society, while Clough's nuanced characterizations bring to life the struggles between personal aspiration and collective obligation, making this work a significant commentary on Victorian values. Arthur Hugh Clough, a prominent figure in the Victorian literary scene, is often seen as a precursor to later modernist poets. His unique educational background at Oxford and exposure to transcendentalist ideas inspired his explorations of doubt and faith, evident in The Bothie. Clough's struggles with conventional religious beliefs and his commitment to social reform deeply influenced his writing, allowing him to articulate the inherent tensions between individual desires and societal limitations. This compelling poem is highly recommended for readers who wish to explore the complexities of Victorian thought and the human condition. Its lyrical beauty and philosophical depth make it a valuable addition to the canon of English literature, appealing to those interested in romanticism, social commentary, and the interplay between nature and humanity.

     This is a book to savor slowly and return to often." —Malcolm Guite, author of Sounding the Seasons and other collections
    New poetry from Scott Cairns on containing the uncontainable
    
    Often, when speaking of what he has called the poetic operation of language, Scott Cairns has characterized that event as our "glimpsing an indeterminate, inexhaustible enormity within a discrete space." This is the poet's continuing fascination with lacunae, those spaces, those openings that offer more within than appearances can register from outside the ostensible covert of their terms. Cairns is here focused upon how an image, a word, or—in the case of the Theotokos—a womb can contain the uncontainable. As Orthodox hymnography avers, she is more spacious than the heavens. So, too, the poet suggests, in its own, modest way, the poem might give birth to more, and more, and yet more than even the poet supposes.
