A.D. Hope’s Latter-Day Ulysses: ‘The End of a Journey’ and the Literary Background
Abstract
Attention to the detail, the overall structure and the literary background of 'The End of a Journey', the first work in Hope's Collected Poems, clarifies the tone and feeling of the poem, its sense of disillusionment, alienation and waste; it reveals more clearly what criticism has tended to assert about its ironic mode; and it throws light on Hope's handling of myth, while suggesting something of the inner logic of the Hope-canon.
