Book Synopsis
Reveals how long poems of the long eighteenth century articulate philosophies of time in both content and form

Trade Review
"A fascinating study of how long poems map themselves out through time and space and use landscapes to think about temporality. Somervell's multidimensional readings bring Paradise Lost, The Seasons and The Prelude into lively dialogue, enriching our understanding at every turn and reconfiguring the literary history of the period. " -David Fairer, University of Leeds
