Sobre este artículo
DB Books, London, first edition, 1998. Limited editionof 250 copies. Cloth, 8vo, 26 cm,. xiv, 281 pp, ills, facs. From the blurb - "Shelley, Wordsworth ... Roden Noel - so the writer John Addington Symonds rated his contemporary. Tennyson considered him 'no minor poet', Elgar used 'Sea Slumber-Song' to open his 'Sea Pictures', but today Roden Noel is virtually unremembered except in a few anthologies. Desmond Heath, married to Roden's great-granddaughter, re-introduces him to us on a personal level by his own style of writing and by the intimacy of some of the book's material - which was 'discovered' after the death in Oct. '91 of his mother-in-law, Barbara Putterill (née Noel), at the age of 94. She was the daughter of Roden's son, Conrad Noel, the charismatic and so-called 'Red Vicar' of Thaxted. 'Barbara's Box', as you will learn, contained letters from such eminent people as Queen Victoria, Gladstone, Tennyson, Christina Rossetti, Hardy, Browning et al., (not forgetting Kropotkin, the anarchist!), and this collection features their facsimiles. At the heart of the book is a reprint of some of Noel's best work, including poems from 'A Little Child's Monument', written after the death of his five-year old son. A letter from the Earl of Gainsborough (Roden's father), after a visit to Napoleon on Elba, an essay on Schopenhauer, and a cartoon of Conrad by his friend G. K. Chesterton, indicate the wideness of this angle on Roden Noel. Any charge of nepotism is confuted by Mr. Heath's commentary, which does not ignore the weaknesses while praising the genius of this 'endanger'd' poet. Bookplate, name and date on front free endpaper, otherwise Very Good in slightly used dustwrapper.
