Authorized Images Famous Authors Seen Through Antique and Vintage Postcards: Byron, Shelley, Keats
The three most famous Romantic poets in English were notorious in their day and have remained so more than two centuries later. As soon as picture postcards became commonly available in the 1890s, these three writers were frequent subjects, two of them famous for the poetry but even more so for their disreputable private lives, spiced with escapades that shock us even today for their audacity. The text addresses the scandal and the literary work, employing full captions to help explain the ongoing popularity of these young giants.
