Ariel

The Concise Oxford Companion to English Literature | 2003 | | Â© The Concise Oxford Companion to English Literature 2003, originally published by Oxford University Press 2003. (Hide copyright information) Copyright

Ariel,
1. an airy spirit in Shakespeare's The Tempest;

2. a rebel angel in Milton's Paradise Lost (VI. 371);

3. in Pope's Rape of the Lock (II. 53 ff.) the chief of the sylphs.

Shakespeare's character (1) has inspired many later writers to identify the name ‘Ariel’ with poetic imagination: T. S. Eliot called five Christmas poems (1927–54) ‘Ariel poems’; the first Penguin paperback was Maurois' life of Shelley called Ariel (1935); and there have been several literary journals with ‘Ariel’ as title. See also Plath, S.
