Description

Explore the deep connection between eroticism and spirituality in this scholarly study by Routledge. Divining Desire: Tennyson and the Poetics of Transcendence examines how Alfred Lord Tennyson uses lover-artists as symbols for the human drive to move beyond personal fragmentation and limited knowledge. This book looks at how Tennyson's characters attempt to build utopias or create massive artistic works, suggesting these actions are actually part of a spiritual quest. By analyzing the desire to eternalize deep wishes, the text connects Victorian sublimation of sexual desire to religious impulse, building on ideas introduced by Freud. Ideal for students and scholars of the Nineteenth Century Series, this work provides a detailed reading of how creative impulses function as a means to transcend the human condition. It offers a fresh perspective on the tension between earthly wishes and the search for the divine in Victorian poetry.
