Pascoe's book, highly enjoyable and also nicely produced, meditates on the subterranean connections between the collecting passions of Romantic-era collectors and those of the poets, lines from whose poems they often quoted. Pascoe is insightful and playful in her explorations of the way private collectors, in the age between that of the great Renaissance princely or aristocratic cabinets of curiosity and the largely Victorian one of museums, were both fascinated by curious or beautiful material objects and rather poignantly used them to create what Henry James called a 'visitable' and Vernon Lee a 'companionable' past."Elizabeth Helsinger, SEL: Studies in English Literature 1500-1900, Autumn 2006 For Judith Pascoe there are lively and deadly forms of collecting. With wit and gravitas, she reveals how objects both defeat time and remind us of its passing. Telling the story of a unique moment in the history of collecting, Pascoe rewrites history in miniature, bringing alive the secret life of highly charged objects including Napoleon's chocolate pot and Shelley's guitar-Marina van Zuylen, author of Monomania: The Flight from Everyday Life in Literature and Art
