Women Romantic Poets - Volume 5: Psyche
Bu audiokitob haqida
In this streamlined, lightly modernized version of an ancient legend, Cupid, the eternal God of Love, himself falls in love with the human Psyche. The tale can be enjoyed at many levels: as an exciting adventure, a romantic love story, a mystical parable of humanity’s quest for union with the divine, an expression of the troubled Irish political situation in the early nineteenth century, and for the unfailing beauty and musicality of its verse. Originally issued only as an anonymous private edition of fifty copies, it attracted an unexpected amount of attention and influenced a whole generation of poets, from Keats and Thomas Moore to Byron and Felicia Hemans.

Mary Tighe (1772–1810) was born in Dublin, married a young Irish Member of Parliament, and died at Woodstock Estate, County Kilkenny, after a long struggle with tuberculosis. She is remembered as the author of the privately printed poem Psyche, which made its way in the world virtually by its merits alone, unheralded by the usual methods of promotion and publicity.
