All roads lead to Rome, yet despite the triumphant remains of forum, Imperial arch, public baths, gilded basilica and palace, it is only the bright flame of passion-filled poetry that can truly bring its past to life. Rome, the beating heart where all the great English romantic hero-poets, including Keats, Shelley, and Byron were drawn to wither upon the bright glory of its ancient stones. Glyn Pursglove has woven a delicate tapestry of ancient, medieval, and modern poetry, from Virgil to Pasolini. It magically echoes the city and its lessons to us.
