Synopsis

In "Kubla Khan: A Vision in a Dream & Christabel," Samuel Taylor Coleridge weaves together a tapestry of imaginative and lyrical prose that explores themes of nature, the supernatural, and the interplay between dreams and reality. Written in a fractured yet enchanting narrative style, "Kubla Khan" emerges from a dream inspired by a vision of the Mongol emperor, intertwining elements of the exotic and the mystical. "Christabel," with its hauntingly beautiful verse, delves into the complexities of innocence, desire, and the ambivalence of female power through its tale of the eponymous heroine and her dark visitor. Both poems reveal Coleridge's mastery of vivid imagery and inventive language, situating them within the larger Romantic movement as reflections of personal introspection and collective human experience. Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834), a pivotal figure in the Romantic literary movement, was heavily influenced by his own philosophical inquiries, the natural world, and the sometimes tumultuous workings of his own mind. The opium-induced state that inspired "Kubla Khan" exemplifies his pursuit of the sublime, while "Christabel" reflects deep explorations of folklore and Gothic traditions. Coleridge's relationships with his contemporaries, including Wordsworth and Lamb, provided a robust literary framework that fueled his creativity and innovative spirit. This dual collection is a must-read for those who wish to immerse themselves in the rich landscapes of imagination and the complex textures of human consciousness. It invites readers to ponder the intricate layers of meaning and inspiration behind Coleridge's work, making "Kubla Khan" and "Christabel" essential texts for anyone seeking to understand the essence of Romantic poetry.

    ‘All of Nichol’s work is stamped by his desire to create texts that are engaging in themselves as well as in context, and to use indirect structural and textual devices to carry meaning. In The Martyrology different ways of speaking testify to a journey through different ways of being. Language is both the poet’s instructor and, through its various permutations, the dominant "image" of the poem. The [nine] books of The Martyrology document a poet’s quest for insight into himself and his writing through scrupulous attention to the messages hidden in the morphology of his own speech.’—Frank Davey

    'A wonderful collection stemming from a hugely important project keeping young Welsh writers connected to Europe despite all attempts to sever these crucial cultural ties.' – Rachel Trezise
    'Anthologies such as this one are the footings of the recently-burnt bridges that we need to rebuild. They help to tear down the walls put up around us. Always important, they are now vital.' – Niall Griffiths
    Ulysses's Cat brings readers the work of some of the most outstanding authors of the younger generation from Croatia, Greece, Serbia, Slovenia and Wales who participated in a project of exchange residencies originally launched on the Croatian island of Mljet, where, according to legend, shipwrecked Ulysses found shelter. As Britain becomes metaphorically unmoored and drifts away from Europe, keeping connected through reading and dialogue provides us with new perspectives on our place in the world and on the tumultuous times we live in. The works of poetry, prose and essays included here offer a snapshot of the concerns and preoccupations shared by young writers from a region with a rich literature that rarely reaches English-language readers and at the same time confirms the vitality of the bilingual Welsh literary scene.
