Autor

Arthur Hugh Clough (1819-1861) was an English poet and intellectual of notable repute in the Victorian era. His work is characterized by a rigorous questioning of traditional faith and morality, often set against the canvas of travel and classical allusions. Clough's literary style is marked by a blend of skepticism and romanticism, as well as a free use of meter that anticipates the vers libre movement. Among his many works, 'Amours De Voyage' is a particularly distinguished poem, penned during his travels in 1849. The poem is a verse epistle that captures the protagonist's emotional turmoil amidst the backdrop of the Roman Republic's revolutionary turmoil. Clough's poetic expression deftly juxtaposes the personal and political, creating a tapestry of introspective thought that reflects the broader existential and societal struggles of his time. Both admired and critiqued for his unconventionality, Clough's influence extended to subsequent generations of poets, including his friend Matthew Arnold, who depicted him in the elegiac work 'Thyrsis'. While Clough's literary output was not large, his works such as the 'The Bothie of Tober-na-Vuolich', 'Dipsychus', and 'Amours De Voyage' continue to garner scholarly attention for their insightful exploration of the human psyche and the complexities of moral choice in a changing world.
