Mari Magno, written in the last years of Clough's life, is a modern Canterbury Tales, the travellers on a trans-Atlantic crossing exchanging stories about love and marriage. The unfinished dramatic poem Dipsychus, a Faustian dialogue, was started in Venice when Clough was still a young man, and revisited and revised throughout his life. He described it as 'the conflict between the tender conscience and the world'. These two unfinished master-works and a selection of Clough's shorter poems will feed the growing interest in this most lovable and no longer neglected Victorian.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBGenre: Poetry & DramaContributor: Sir Anthony Kenny (Edited by)Release Year: 2014 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
