Appendix II
Appendix II turns its gaze to the elusive visual identity of two towering figures in Roman poetry: Virgil and Lucretius. The text journeys through the tangled efforts to reconstruct their appearances, not through surviving sculptures or death masks, but from scattered and fragile artifacts that leave more to imagination than fact. For Virgil, we are offered no reliable marble bust or preserved likeness; instead, hope rests in ancient manuscripts, particularly a well-known one housed in the Vatican. This…-

Appendix I
Appendix I introduces readers to a lively moment in 19th-century literary history through an exploration of John Hamilton Reynolds’s spirited parody, Peter Bell: A Lyrical Ballad. This playful mockery took aim at William Wordsworth’s poetic style, anticipating the release of Wordsworth’s actual Peter Bell. Reynolds, deeply embedded in the literary culture of the time, crafted his parody with a mix of irritation and amusement, especially targeting the solemn tone and rustic simplicity that had come to…-

ON BOOKS ABOUT RED MEN
"ON BOOKS ABOUT RED MEN" opens with a tone of warm nostalgia, where a gentleman writes to a young schoolboy, Dick, about his own youthful fascination with stories of Native American life. The writer recalls days spent pretending to be an “Indian,” trying and failing to make a tomahawk or mimic Hiawatha’s rituals. He shares that the stories weren’t just imaginative fuel but sources of great enthusiasm—so much so that he once stuffed a peace pipe with tea leaves and promptly sickened himself. What…-

Gerard de Nerval
Gerard de Nerval represents a rare literary figure whose allure lies in the dreamlike quality of his prose and the deep melancholy that permeates his work. In this reflection, shared with Miss Girton of Cambridge, the writer attempts to explain why Nerval remains somewhat inaccessible to many readers, particularly those unacquainted with his abstract take on emotion. It is not a matter of intelligence or gender but rather a question of sensibility—Nerval speaks most clearly to those who feel more than…-
