Drama, described by its author as 'A Dithyrambic in the florid Gothic style'. This new edition, prepared by Alan Halsey, presents for the first time in a separate volume the later version in the text established by H.W.Donner in 1935; unfinished at the time of the author's death in 1849 it is a substantially different work from the version prepared for publication, unsuccessfully, in 1829. Modelled on the Jacobean 'revenge' tragedies the play is sustained by a poetry of glittering surface with an ever-present undertow of death and destruction, tempered by humour deriving out of a remorseless sense of absurdity and alienation. 'Judicious editorial work' (TLS).
