Vicar, tha..."more to aggrandize himself"<br /><br />Vicar, that was a driving force in many of these folks' lives - not least, Percy's.<br /><br />It really is amazing, the worship Mary bestowed on him after hus death, considering the anguish he caused her - and others - during his life.<br /><br />Perhaps it was her attempt to somehow redeem him and the time they shared...<br /><br />-Craigwich2noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5112951555998191786.post-9824774271141688762010-07-19T23:56:25.300-04:002010-07-19T23:56:25.300-04:00ah..just the right touch of romantic history befor...ah..just the right touch of romantic history before bedtime.Christopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01165402182512034384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5112951555998191786.post-73526183798590541612010-07-18T12:05:14.573-04:002010-07-18T12:05:14.573-04:00That is a wonderful and fascinating piece, Pierre....That is a wonderful and fascinating piece, Pierre. Thanks so much for that. (By the way it should read 1822, of course, not 1922--slip of the typing finger.)<br /><br />Just a great post. I love to learn new stuff.

I recently read <i>Young Romantics: The Tangled Lives of English Poetry's Greatest Generation</i> by Daisy Hay, which I would recommend to anyone interested in Romantic poetry or any of the principals in this painting (or John Keats, not pictured due to already being dead). Hay talks a lot about the funeral and its difference from the painting, and how Trelawny, a Byronic character who ingratiated himself into the poet's circle, served as a kind of self-envisioned high priest, making up his own rites more to aggrandize himself than honor the dead.<br /><br />It's a fascinating read. As is this post. Thanks, Pierre.The Vicar of VHShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06832137990485130735noreply@blogger.com
