Opis

Approaching Wordsworth’s entire poetic and prosaic oeuvre from perspectives which have not been considered in critical literature, this book offers a multiangled reflection on the technicalities of the poet’s religious discourse, including the methodology of The Prelude revision and Wordsworth’s technique of "bracketed religion".

Recenzje

“I know of no other study of Wordsworth that compares with this in its range, or in the passionate attention it brings to its subject. It is an extraordinary, imaginative, and thoughtfully empathetic reading of the whole of the poet’s long lifetime’s work. This is a book with which future Wordsworth scholars will have to reckon, and one that will offer much to surprise and challenge readers who think they know his poetry.” Heather Glen, University of Cambridge, UK.
