"Byron's manuscripted memoirs were destroyed - possibly because they contained revelations of his varied sexual proclivities. This novel aims to bring to life the man condemned as mad, bad and dangerous to know. The author won the Hawthornden Prize and The Guardian Fiction Prize for Falstaff." —Google Books

In Carter’s novel highly heterogeneous influences interweave in the paradigm of the female community and they result in a contradictory and sometimes paradoxical model of the city of women. In PNE, even the name of the gynocratic community defines a specific satiric intention. As a literary topos, Beulah appears for the first time in John Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress and is defined as a place "upon the border of Heaven" through which "pilgrims pass on to eternal life" (155). The "daughters of Beulah" in William Blake’s works are the Muses inspiring the poet (420).

"The theme is that there are alien beings watching us, and every time a human being is about to make a significant breakthrough they send a Person from Porlock as a distraction." —M. Paley

Description from Amazon.com: In 1837, after years of struggling with alcoholism and depression, the great nature poet John Clare finds himself in High Beach—a mental institution located in Epping Forest on the outskirts of London.

"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.

"After Lord Byron's death in 1824 his memoirs were burned as they were considered too scandalous and for over 150 years were therefore considered lost. The author claims that he has discovered in Greece an ancient manuscript in Byron's handwriting which could be the long lost memoirs. Whether this book is the literary discovery of the century or an ingenious forgery, it remains a vivid and bawdy recreation of Byron's life." —FictionDB

"Edgar Allan Poe’s 'The Visionary' marked his debut on the literary scene. It was influenced in part by current events of his time, by the appeal of 'the arabesque' to his readers, his high regard for Lord Byron and Poe's familiarity with Byron’s life. It is also probable that events and characters from Poe’s own life figure in the tale, especially the death of his mother and his adoption by the Allan family." —Kathy Dudley
