Memoires De Henri Monod V1-2 (1805) Henri Monod / Book Paperback

She links the collecting craze during the romantic era with the subsequent fetishization of romantic poets and their possessions, revealing the extent to which an ongoing fascination with material objects - with Keats's hair and Shelley's guitar, for example - helped to produce an enduring image of these poets as spiritual emissaries of a less materialistic age. In language both witty and idiosyncratic, Pascoe makes the case that the romantic period stands out as a distinct moment in collecting history, a transition between the flourishing of the Renaissance wonder cabinet and the rise of the Victorian museum.
