这篇文章试图考虑读者的反应都在大都市和次大陆的一首诗，简威尔士卡莱尔写道：“我很想有conceived '的诅咒Kehama' -但我不会写它一千基尼。”以大象野餐开始，它考察了广泛的批评和学术反应，证明了苏塞对印度斯坦的诗意表达的想象力和准确性。它对“服装”的细致关注，让许多人，包括经验丰富的印度人，根据苏塞的史诗来衡量或回忆他们在次大陆的经历，这使一些最有见识的读者相信，他实际上已经到达了印度。它的重点是反应的身体和道德的吸引力的诗的女主人公Kailyal，一个字符的年轻珀西雪莱认为“神圣”，rendingKehama“我最喜欢的诗。”Kailyal的灵感不仅被认为是明显的次大陆形状的拉克斯什姆和拉库昆塔尔，但也在圣经东方主义和克洛普斯托克的弥赛亚的影响。“Cidli”在克洛普斯托克的史诗和克洛普斯托克的生活中的意义，作为他选择给他的belkant davant la lettreepipsyche altha的名字，被认为是关于他们的爱情对苏塞的影响，他们的爱情被认为是注定的、不可分割的。
This article attempts to consider the responses of readers both in the metropole and within the subcontinent to a poem of which Jane Welsh Carlyle wrote: “I should like well to haveconceived‘The curse of Kehama’ – But I would not havewrittenit for a thousand guineas.” Opening with an Elephanta picnic, it examines a wide array of critical and scholarly reactions which testify to the imaginative power and accuracy of Southey's poetic representation of Hindostan. Its detailed attention to “costume” led many, including seasoned India hands, to measure or recall their subcontinental experiences by the light of Southey's epic, which convinced some of its most informed readers that he had actually made the passage to India. It focuses upon reactions to the physical and moral attractions of the poem's heroine Kailyal, a character whom the young Percy Shelley thought “divine”, renderingKehama“my most favourite poem.” The inspiration for Kailyal is viewed not only in the obvious subcontinental shapes of Śrī Lakshmī and Śakuntalā, but also in terms of Biblical Orientalism and the influence of Klopstock'sMessiah.The significance of “Cidli” in both Klopstock's epic and Klopstock's life, as the name he chose to give his belovedavant la lettreepipsyche Margaretha, is considered in respect to the influence upon Southey of their love conceived as predestined and indivisible through all time.
