Phantom-Wooer: The Thomas Lovell Beddoes Web Site | Critical Response

THOMAS FORBES KELSALL, 1872

“So ends this singular drama,--singular in its plot, its characters, its accessories, and, above all, singular in the felicities and vigour of its composition. It may not be a suitable pillow for the head that would court only placid dreams, but those who turn habitually to poetry as ‘chief nourisher in life’s feast’ of some of their noblest faculties, will find such congenial aliment in the imaginative thoughts that crowd this little volume.”

(“Thomas Lovell Beddoes,” Fortnightly Review, vol. 18, p. 75)
