In The Trembling Hand, award-winning Shelley scholar Mathelinda Nabugodi re-engages this context, and the result is like seeing restored world-renowned frescoes for the first timelayers of obfuscation cleared away. Drawing on a series of objectsSamuel Taylor Coleridges library record at Cambridge, William Wordsworths tea cup, a bracelet made of Mary Shelleys hair, Lord Byrons bootsNabugodi takes us on a dazzling journey back in time, one full of unexpected discoveries that bring to life their poetry and how it has lasted.Here is a journey into the heart of empire, and into the heart of the empires archives, led by a brilliant, skeptical investigator. Nabugodi reminds us that John Keats, Mary Shelley, William Wordsworth, S. T. Coleridge, P.B. Shelley, and Byron grew up in a world funded and framed by the transatlantic slave trade. It structured their social lives; built the buildings where they first met, buildings Nabugodi revisits; underwrote their scholarships; and even sometimes, in the form of young African servant boys, provided the trembling hand that held the missives of love they passed to their lovers.The Trembling Hands breakthroughs could last generations, altering the way Romantic poetry is read going forward. In one of many illuminating moments, Nabugodi makes a strong case for the fact that Rime of the Ancient Mariner was inspired by the specter of slave ships returning to port, sailors emaciated, sails in tatters. In another, her reading of Frankenstein places it in conversation with another Gothic fable of the time, one written by a plantation owner from Jamaica.The Trembling Hand builds this portrait intimately, luxuriously, allowing the reader into Nabugodis own trips to various archives, describing her journey in the footsteps of the poets, following the trail of the relics they left behind, and how she feels holding them as a woman whose ancestry is largely absent from their ledgers. Part literary sleuth, part philosopher of the archive, she has given us a tremendous, new kind of book: a first-rate linked biography, but also a groundbreaking work on the politics and history of archives, who built them, and how entwined they are with an industry that was the very antithesis of freedom....(*_*)9798217083282_A provocative, revelatory history of British Romanticism that examines the impact of the transatlantic slave economy on the lives and times of some of our most beloved poetswith urgent lessons for todayA scrap of Coleridges handwriting. The sugar that Wordsworth stirred into his teacup. A bracelet made of Mary Shelleys hair. Percy Shelleys gilded baby rattle. The death mask preserving Keatss calm face. Byrons silk-lined leather boot. Who would have known there could be vast worlds contained in these items? In a completely new interpretation of the Romantics and their context, Whiting Awardwinning scholar and literary sleuth Mathelinda Nabugodi uses these items to frame her interrogation of the poets, leading us on an expansive journey through time and memory, situating us in depth of their world, and her own. Freedom, liberty, autonomy are the periods favorite words, Nabugodi writes. Romantic poets sought truth in the depth of their souls and in the minds unbounded regions. Ideals of free speech and human rights were being forged. And yet the period was defined by a relentless commitment to the displacement and stolen labor of millions. Romanticism, she argues, can no longer be discussed without the racial violence with which it was complicit. Still, rather than using this idea to rehash Black pain and subjugation, she mines the archives for instances of resistance, beauty, and joy. Nabugodi moves effortlessly between the past and present. She takes us into the physical archives, and, with startling clarity, unpacks her relationships with them: what they are and should be; who built them; how they are entwined with an industry that was the antithesis of freedom; and how she feels holding the materials needed to write this book, as a someone whose ancestry is largely absent from their ledgers. The Trembling Hand presentsa dazzling new way of reading the past. This transfixing, evocative book reframes not only the lives of the legendary Romantics, but also their poetry and the very era in which they lived. It is a reckoning with art, archives, and academia bound to echo through the conversation for a long time to come....(*_*)9798217083282_A provocative, revelatory history of British Romanticism that examines the impact of the transatlantic slave economy on the lives and times of some of our most beloved poetswith urgent lessons for todayA scrap of Coleridges handwriting.
