Keats, Shelley & Rome : an illustrated miscellany

C. Johnson, London, published on behalf of the Keats Shelley Memorial Association, fourth edition, 1970. Cloth, 8vo,. 75 pp, 10 ills. From the blurb: "Most of these studies by distinguished writers were specially written for this book, while the rest have been carefully chosen from among the less familiar writings and translations of the past. They have been skilfully grouped around the central theme of Keats and Shelley and their association with Rome. In this city there is a fitting memorial to the two young poets linked by destiny to each other and to Rome and an account of this memorial forms an important part of the book, the story of its survival during the war being not least among the epics of the Italian campaign." Contents include: Compiler's foreword, by Neville Rogers; The Keats-Shelley house, Rome:1909, by Lord Rennell of Rodd; The memorial stands: June 1944, by A C Sedgwick; Keats, Shelley and Rome: 1816-22, by Neville Rogers; The Protestant cemetery: 1889, by Gabriele d'Annunzio; On the fame of John Keats: 1947, by Dorothy Hewlett; On the drawing depicting John Keats in death: 1914, by Rainer Maria Rilke; The fame of Shelley: 1947, by Edmund Blunden; Epilogue: Lauro de Bosis: 1931, by Neville Rogers; The death mask of Keats, by Dorothy Hewlett; The memorial: 1903-47, by Neville Rogers and Vera Signorelli Cacciatore; Note on drawing of John Keats, by Maurice Buxton Forman.
