The Vision of Judgment and the Visions of ‘Author’

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

Byron’s satire of Robert Southey’s Vision of Judgment, a Poet Laureate elegy and political settling of scores, upends Southey’s Tory preening with liberal political satire, but also supplements this anti-type with unexpected twinning, especially against the unnamed figure of pure principle, the pseudonymous Junius.
