The Ivory Gate

Thomas Lovell Beddoes (1803-1849) was an English poet and dramatist whose early play The Brides' Tragedy was highly praised. He studied medicine at the Universities of Göttingen and Würzburg, where his involvement in radical politics led to his deportation. He spent the rest of his life in Switzerland and Germany, continuing to write but showing only occasional and fleeting interest in publication. His celebrated drama Death's Jest-Book and his Collected Poems were published posthumously. This volume, edited and with an introduction by Alan Halsey, makes available separately for the first time the surviving text and fragments of Beddoes' unfinished work The Ivory Gate, together with a collection of his later poetry.
