Publisher Synopsis
'One of the most striking things about this engaging and scholarly book is the way that it draws to the reader's attention just how many major poems of the late 18th and early 19th century (and beyond) are indeed set in or focused around the crepuscular time of the evening.' The Times Higher Education Supplement 'Miller's study is highly welcome ... it should be given to students as a model for intense and theory-informed concentration on what is really worth reading ...'
