Opis

First published in 1981, this study sees Wordsworth s work as part of the continuous European struggle to come to terms with consciousness. The author pays particular attention to Wordsworth s style and investigates the unstated and unconscious assumptions of that style. He discusses the conflicting feelings that shaped Wordsworth s changing conception of "The Recluse," offers a new interpretation of his classification of his poems and examines the meaning of one of his favourite images the panoramic view of a valley filled with mist. While the emphasis is on Wordsworth s greatness as a poet, the book stresses the importance of significance of his relation to European literature and poetry."
