	Miles Durrance on Mary Robinson's The Haunted Beach
		Mary's earliest works were to be published in the old vein of gathering financial sponsorship in order to send a volume to the presses and then distribute it (her first volume, 1775's Poems, was partially sponsored by the Duchess of Devonshire [Wu 178]).
		The scandalous Mary Robinson's work fell out of favor with the onset of the Victorian era, but the sensational aspects of her life and career have recently rekindled the interest of critics in the life and output of this multi-faceted talent (Chancey Website bio.).
		Robinson lived to transcend such early bad press and the rest of her poetry seems to be on a similar course in winning convincing modern critics as to validity of her talents versus the sensationalism of her associations.

	Memoirs of Mary Robinson
		Robinson was particularly averse to the idea of such a marriage, and that as soon as he should become of age his independence would place him beyond the control of any person whatsoever.
		Robinson was represented as a young man of considerable expectations, and his wife was consequently again received as the daughter of Mr.
		Robinson's effects, at the suit of an [Page 88] annuitant, decided the doubts and fears which had long afflicted me. I was in a great degree prepared for this event by the evident inquietude of my husband's mind and his frequent interviews with persons of a mysterious description.

	[No title]
		Robinson's narrative of excessive passion, consisting primarily of the effusions of Sappho arranged in forty-four Petrarchan sonnets, details the apocryphal story of the progressive deterioration of Sappho's mind as it yields to her unrequited passion for Phaon.
		Robinson implies through her method of establishing a "sympathy of the mind" that this is a passive form of acquiescence, one that submits to the venerable.
		In Robinson's dialectical scheme, however, the vitality of the sympathetic response in the reader is determined not by the presence or absence of chastity alone, but by his or her dual consideration of restraint and passion.

		Mary Robinson (born 21 May 1944) was the first female President of Ireland, serving from 1990 to 1997.
		Mary Robinson (as she now was) served in the upper house as an independent senator, but in the mid 1970s she joined the Irish Labour Party.
		Robinson not too long afterwards resigned from the party in protest at the Anglo-Irish Agreement that the coalition under Garret FitzGerald had signed with the British Government of Margaret Thatcher, Robinson arguing that the majority unionist community in Northern Ireland deserved to be consulted as part of the deal.

		Mary Robinson was born in Bristol on 27 November 1858, one of five children born to John Darby and Mary Seys.
		Robinson was 7,000 pounds in debt, her reputation was ruined, and she had no choice but to use the notoriety to try and rebuild her acting career.
		Robinson, a few weeks before her death." Coleridge prefaced "The Solitude of Binnorie" with a statement announcing that the meter of the poem was borrowed from Robinson's "The Haunted Beach." This preface also refers to Mary as Sappho and himself as Alcaeus, evidence that "Alcaeus to Sappho" references their relationship.

	Mary Robinson (1757-1800)
		Her Robinson is, she argues, a prototype of Madonna, a "media baby", a mercurial, material girl who "spent most of her life in a state of fame", and were she to make a programme on Robinson, Gristwood writes, she would want to interview Max Clifford.
		Robinson had a gift for attracting distinguished supporters, not just because she was a beauty but also because she was full of life and brimming over with talents just waiting to be discovered by older and wiser mentors.
		Instead, Robinson was "attuned to the ways in which clothing could transform her image." Byrne shows a critical eye for detail, making it all the more curious that she did not spend more time in the archives researching Robinson's earlier life.

		Reading the poet at the poem's end as being analogous to the Khan, she sees him as trying, but failing, to become a Khan himself, to become a sublime creator whose masculinity is produced through the conquest of the feminine.
		The poet's dome, then, is dependent not on a Satanic conqueror of women, but on the revival of their envisioned song in the self-conscious creativity of the male poet.
		Idealising Robinson as a pure and dear Mother, 'of all names the most awful, the most venerable, next to that of God', Coleridge wished to save Robinson's posthumous reputation from the notoriety of the writers she had been associated with, to reinscribe her within the discourse of literary as well as personal propriety.

		But when Robinson -- a woman with socialist and feminist leanings -- was elected, it symbolized the changes in what had been a traditionally conservative and religion-dominated country.

		"I hope to further the ongoing revaluation of Robinson's work, and of her importance to the period, by considering the mingled effect of her poetry and public persona on the work of a more canonical male contemporary: William Wordsworth.
		The latter sections of the essay focus on the kind of conversation established by the Lyrical Ballads, Mary Robinson's Lyrical Tales, and Wordsworth's musings (in Book Seven) on the commodified London culture of ballads, spectacular stage shows, and prostitution.
		I will suggest throughout that each poet responds to and actively disputes the aesthetic for which the other might be said to stand."
