About the Book

Is the poetry of John Keats relevant for us today? In "Revolutionary Romanticism: Examining the Odes of John Keats", Jenny Farrell uncovers core meanings in Keats's poetry that illuminate its contemporary significance. A detailed reading of "Ode to Psyche", "Ode to a Nightingale", "Ode on a Grecian Urn", "Ode on Melancholy" and "To Autumn" presents the poet on his own terms: beauty as the vision of what life could and should be, rooted in actuality but suppressed by society's inhumanity. Thomas Metscher, former professor of Comparative Literature and Aesthetics at the University of Bremen: "The main purpose of literary criticism is the historically contextualized close reading of texts. Such analysis equips readers with the understanding necessary to accessing a text and its author. Jenny Farrell does this expertly here, as in her previous book on Shakespeare's Tragedies. She uncovers, in the texts of the odes, Keats's progressive, humanist and implicitly revolutionary stance and thereby aligns him convincingly with Blake and Shelley as one of the most significant poets of English Romanticism. Farrell combines analytical clarity with emotional empathy, clearing a path into the odes for today's reader, and uncovering the beauty, immediacy and utmost contemporary relevance of 200-year-old texts."
About the Author: Jenny Farrell was born in Berlin, German Democratic Republic (GDR). She grew up in a bilingual German-Scottish-Irish family, where from an early age she was familiar with the literature and music of these traditions. She graduated from Humboldt University Berlin in 1980, with a BA and a B Ed in English and German. The same university awarded her a PhD in English Romantic Literature in 1985. Dr Farrell's dissertation "Keats: The Progress of the Odes: Unity and Utopia" was published in Bremer Beiträge zur Literatur- und Ideologiegeschichte, vol. 6, Peter Lang, Frankfurt am Main, 1989. She has lived in Ireland since 1985, working as a lecturer in GMIT. Her main fields of interest are Irish and English poetry and the work of William Shakespeare. In 2016, Nuascéalta published Jenny Farrell's book "Fear Not Shakespeare's Tragedies: A Comprehensive Introduction."
