"Long on discussion and short on action, Fleming's third British mystery (Sophie Is Gone) reads like the minutes of a dotty faculty conference on the Romantic poets, particularly Byron." -PublishersWeekly

"The Coleridge incident appears in chapters 6 and 35, although Dirk Gently disturbs STC intentionally, not by accident." —J. Lynch. Lynch suggests that this might be the story described by N. Fraistat "in which a contemporary (to us) lover of 'Kubla Khan' goes back in time and stands guard at STC's door while he sleeps, determined to stop the man from Porlock. Well, he waits and waits and no man from Porlock appears. Finally, worried, he knocks at the door to find out if the man from P has somehow got round him only to discover that, dum de dum dum dum, HE is the man from Porlock."

"April 1798, Charles Lloyd, A troubled son of the Quaker family of Birmingham ironmasters and bankers, saw his epistolary novel Edmund Oliver published in Bristol by Joseph Cottle. Private reception of the novel was at best mixed. Lloyd had mined the lives of family, friends, and acquaintances for details of character and plot, and unwelcome resemblances distressed some readers.

"A far-future science fiction tetralogy in which an Articial Intelligence reconstruction of John Keats plays a major role. They're long books and quite a commitment of time, but they're excellent, and the treatment of Keats's life (and death) is very movingly integrated into the story. . . . Aside from the fact that the words "I was an English major" seem to scream from every page (the first novel is a version of Canterbury Tales, among other things), [the novels] are very engrossing and explore Keats's life and poetry in a fascinating way.

Don DeLillo’s Falling Man (2007) contains a reference to Percy Shelley’s Revolt of Islam: "It was the postcard that snapped her back, on top of the cluster of bills and other mail. She glanced at the message, a standard scrawled greeting, sent by a friend staying in Rome, then looked again at the face of the card. It was a reproduction of the cover of Shelley’s poem in twelve cantos, first edition, called Revolt of Islam.

"In 1974 in Paris, Richard Holmes tells us, he was busy working on a ''novel about a group of friends caught up in May '68.' Yet 'Footsteps: Adventures of a Romantic Biographer,' Mr. Holmes's first full-length book in more than a decade, is not that novel. Nor is it the 400-page biography of the French poet, Gerard de Nerval, that was the immediate product of his sojourn in Paris in the mid-1970's and that he claims no publisher would touch.

William Blake also becomes an important figure in Moore's later work, and is a featured character in From Hell (1991–98) and Angel Passage (2001). In From Hell, Blake appears as a mystical and occultic foil to William Gull's aristocratic plot to murder the prostitutes of Whitechapel in London. Gull appears to Blake in two visions over the course of Moore's comic, and becomes the inspiration for "The Ghost of a Flea."
