I’m remembering John Martin today. Instead of the usual “Witch of the Alps” inspired by Byron’s poem Manfred (1817), I’m thinking of Mary Shelley’s The Last Man (1826). Although it was inspired by Scottish poet Thomas Campbell’s poem of 1823, here is Martin’s painting The Last Man (1849).

Romanticist painter John Martin died #OTD 1854. The first is a scene from Lord Byron’s poem Manfred when the “Witch of the Alps rises beneath the arch of the sunbow.” The ghostly apparition next to him is what she demands as payment for relieving his suicidal despair: his soul.

"Heap on more wood! - the wind is chill;
But let it whistle as it will,
We'll keep our Christmas merry still."

"I have no appetites, passions, or vanities which lead to expense. In books only am I intemperate - they have been both bane and blessing to me."

GOTHIC ROMANTICISM This week on Gothic Romanticism we explore William Blake: there's a fairy funeral, a ghost of a flea & visitations by angels. Chimney sweepers locked up in coffins of black are set free by an angel with a bright key as songs of innocence give way to experience

Raise a glass to Nicholas Roe's sublime new book - John Keats and the Perils of Posterity - which explores how myth, biography, and memory shaped the legacy of a “doomed genius.” A must-read for lovers of poetry, and another massive win for our SoE staff. #Keats #LiteraryHistory
