This is one of the famous fair copy manuscripts of Mary Tighe's popular poem "Psyche; or, The Legend of Love" an allegorical poem in Spenserian stanzas based on the story of Cupid and Psyche, that had well documented influence on the Romantics. Tighe began writing the poem in 1801 and steadily revised it until she had it privately printed in 1805 in an edition of 50 copies. The printed edition did not satisfy demand, as evidenced by the manuscript copy, which accurately follows the text of the 1805 printed edition, on paper watermarked 1806. The page numberes to which the final 17 notes reference were left blank by the copyist because in the manuscript copy they would not correctly correspond to the layout of the printed text.

The Kiss ("When the Sun with amorous beams")
Mary Blachford Tighe was born in Dublin in 1772 and became a poet by the age of seventeen. Her enormously popular 1805 epic poem "Psyche; or, The Legend of Love" made her a fixture of English literary history for much of the nineteenth century. For much of the twentieth century, however, Tighe was better known for her influence on Keats's poetry than the considerable merits of her own work. The Collected Poems and Journals of Mary Tighe restores Tighe to the general canon of English literature of the period. With over eighty-five poems, including the complete Psyche, and extracts from several journals, both by and about Tighe, Harriet Kramer Linkin's annotated edition is the most complete collection of Mary Tighe's work to be published in one volume.

Revealing Bodies considers three thinkers not often read together, in order to ask a question: how is it that we claim to know the body? This book explores a question with wide-ranging stakes both for those with specialized interest in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century culture and with a broader interest in bodily representation.
