CHRISTABEL RELEASED - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

CHRISTABEL RELEASED is Ralph Hoyte's completion of the Romantic poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge's famous Gothic ballad, 'Christabel'. The Bristol/UK-based poet and writer has taken Coleridge's original fragments and woven them into a coherent narrative poem which rescues the eponymous heroine, Christabel, from her over 200 years of enforced limbo. Christabel Released is just under 1/3 original Coleridge and just over 2/3 Ralph Hoyte. Christabel's themes are
demonic possession and seduction and the resulting destruction of The Old Order. The cast - apart from the lovely lady, Christabel - includes her sire, Sir Leoline of Langdale Hall, his bête noire Geraldine (‘sword-bearer’, from the Germanic), who is a shape-shifting snake demoness; Bracy, Sir Leoline’s bard; and Sir Roland de Vaux of Tryermaine, who may or may not be the snake-lady, Geraldine's father.
