When roaanticisa became the dominant word in English literature, it was only natural that the works of Milton, along with those of Spenser and Shakespeare, should enter upon an era of great popularity. Biographies of Milton were numerous, but the numerous editions of his works give the best basis for proof of his fame during that period. With particular reference to Paradise Lost this can be noted. Here a genuine surprise awaits us, for we find that between 1705 and 1$Q0 Paradise Lost was published over a hundred times! fhe wonder grows when we look at the Faerie Queene.

    Wordsworth's Moonlight-Poetry and the Sense of Thecc Uncanny"

    Wordsworth's Moonlight-Poetry and the Sense of thecc Uncanny" BRIAN COSGROVE I c V_voNSPicuous AMONG THOSE who have emphasized in Words• worth the tension between Nature and Imagination is Geoffrey Hartman, who has argued that one habitual Wordsworthian response is to shy away from "an 'apocalyptic' position" since "he does not want to find imagination in violation of man or nature." Wordsworth's hope, then, is "that the imagination can be domes• ticated, that nature can satisfy a mind which seeks, or used to seek, the supernatural."1 The attraction of Wordsworth to the supernatural is, nonethe• less, potent in an early phase of his career; and there are a number of texts from the Alfoxden period (1798) which reveal not simply this attraction, but the ambivalence of feeling aroused by it. Since, however, Wordsworth's supernatural is deliberately muted by his strong grasp of the actual, we need a more accept• able term to describe a poetry which mediates between the extremes of natural and supernatural. I would propose, for con• venience, that we speak of Wordsworth's poetry of the preter• natural ; and I would argue further that this preternatural quality is most frequently evidenced in a consistent imagery of moon• light.2 Nathaniel Hawthorne, in a famous passage in The Scarlet Letter, may help us further to define the quality of this poetry of the preternatural which exists in an intermediary moonlit world. In the preamble of "The Custom-House," Hawthorne presents himself seated in a moonlit parlour, "striving to picture imagi• nary scenes. ..." He continues: 20 BRIAN COSGROVE If the imaginative faculty refused to act at such an hour, it might well be deemed a hopeless case.

    1 Essay Title: Romantic Poetry and Victorian

    Essay title: Romantic Poetry and Victorian Nonsense Poetry: Some Directions of Travel Name: Peter Swaab Email: [email protected] Postal address: Dept of English, UCL, Gower Street, London WC1E 6BT Abstract: This essay explores links between Victorian nonsense poetry and poetry of the Romantic period, with a focus on narratives of quest, voyaging and escape. It discusses brief instances from various writers of the two periods and moves on to a more developed comparison between Wordsworth and Edward Lear, centring on ‘The Blind Highland Boy’. The comparison between periods leads to an argument that self- critique and scepticism were quite robustly in place from the start in the romantic period, and that obstacles to sense could at times be experienced not just as perplexity but as enjoyment shared with an audience. It also points to a further appreciation of some of the less canonical works by the most canonical writers, and suggests a tradition in which romantic aspiration was often coolly linked to a sense of absurdity. Keywords: romanticism, nonsense poetry, quests, voyages, romantic Victorianism 1 Romantic Poetry and Victorian Nonsense Poetry: Some Directions of Travel Peter Swaab We are used to asking what was Victorian about nonsense writing, but this essay takes the slightly different approach of asking what was Romantic about it. Various thematic and generic links suggest themselves as possible approaches. First, we might say that nonsense brings a cooling comic self-consciousness to many of the dramas of romanticism – for instance those involving childhood, isolation, utopian dreams, travel and imperialism. In exploring sublimity, nonsense always grounds it in absurdity, chiefly the absurdity of love in Edward Lear, and of meaning in Lewis Carroll.

Goehring, Ph.D. University of Pittsburgh, 2010 It has become commonplace among both Melville and Wordsworth critics to recognize a basic ambiguity or contradictoriness in each artist’s writing. In this project, I find the roots of that tension in each artist’s concept of the imagination and the process of poetic creation. More importantly, I find that Melville’s concept of art, as reflected in his magnum opus Moby-Dick and substantiated in his poetry, reveals a basic affinity with Wordsworth’s Imagination. Specifically, my project traces the lingering elements of Wordsworth’s concept of the poetic process in Melville’s writing, particularly focusing on two important and complex relationships in that creative process: 1) the implicit paradox of activity and passivity in a poetics that assumes at its heart inspiration, and Wordsworth’s particular devotion to preserving rather than reconciling that paradox; and 2) the role of society in a creative process that seeks to privilege individual genius while ensuring the social efficacy of the workings of that genius.

    The Road to Nether Stowey

Its popularity derives not just from what it reveals of Wordsworth and Coleridge at a vitally important moment in their creative lives, but from its ingeniously constructed myth of initiation into their work. For those reasons, we should be wary of accepting it as the final word on the events it describes. Take, for instance, the time-scale of Hazlitt’s stay: in the essay it seems to span only a few days, when in fact he was there for three weeks. And it is inconceivable that he failed to make the acquaintance of Berkeley Coleridge, born ten days prior to his arrival. Berkeley was described as possessing a ‘noble and lovely style of beauty, his large, soft eyes, of a “London-smoke” colour, exquisite complexion, regular features and goodly size’. His father was reported to have been ‘very proud of him’, showing him off to admirers,1 one of whom must have included Hazlitt. Nor can Hazlitt have failed to make friends with Hartley Coleridge, four months from his second birthday; in 1803 he would paint his portrait.2 By all accounts, he got on with both of them, such that Coleridge

    Global Spaces and Travel in the Literature of William Wordsworth

    Boundless Explorations: Global Spaces and Travel in the Literature of William Wordsworth, Percy Shelley, and Mary Shelley by Alexander J. Willis A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of English University of Toronto © Copyright by Alexander J. Willis 2011 ii Boundless Explorations: Global Spaces and Travel in the Literature of William Wordsworth, Percy Shelley, and Mary Shelley Alexander J. Willis, Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of English, University of Toronto, 2011 Abstract This dissertation focuses on a Romanticism that was profoundly global in scope, and examines the boundary-crossing literary techniques of William Wordsworth, Percy Shelley and Mary Shelley. These authors saw identity as delimited by artificial borders, and we witness in their work competitions between local and global, immediate and infinite, home and away – all formulated in spatial terms. This thesis argues that by using motifs and philosophies associated with “borderless” global travel, these authors radically destabilized definitions of nature, history, and the home. Wordsworth and the Shelleys saw the act of travel as essentially cosmopolitan, and frequently depicted spaces outside of familiar boundaries as being rich in imaginative vitality. Their fiction and poetry abounds with examples of North American primitivism, radical modes of transportation, and unknown territories sought by passionate explorers. Importantly, they often used such examples of foreignness to rejuvenate familiar spaces and knowledge – these were individuals determined to retain a certain amount of local integrity, or connection with the reluctant minds who feared alien contexts. As such, they were each aware of the fragility of embedded minds, and the connection of these minds to bordered historical contexts.

  • William Wordsworth - Poems

    Classic Poetry Series William Wordsworth - poems - Publication Date: 2004 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive William Wordsworth(1770-1850) Wordsworth, born in his beloved Lake District, was the son of an attorney. He went to school first at Penrith and then at Hawkshead Grammar school before studying, from 1787, at St John's College, Cambridge - all of which periods were later to be described vividly in The Prelude. In 1790 he went with friends on a walking tour to France, the Alps and Italy, before arriving in France where Wordsworth was to spend the next year. Whilst in France he fell in love twice over: once with a young French woman, Annette Vallon, who subsequently bore him a daughter, and then, once more, with the French Revolution. Returning to England he wrote, and left unpublished, his Letter to the Bishop of Llandaff - a tract in support of the French Revolutionary cause. In 1795, after receiving a legacy, Wordsworth lived with his sister Dorothy first in Dorset and then at Alfoxden, Dorset, close to Coleridge. In these years he wrote many of his greatest poems and also travelled with Coleridge and Dorothy, in the winter of 1798-79, to Germany. Two years later the second and enlarged edition of the Lyrical Ballads appeared in 1801, just one year before Wordsworth married Mary Hutchinson. This was followed, in 1807, by the publication of Poems in Two Volumes, which included the poems 'Resolution and Independence' and 'Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood'. During this period he also made new friendships with Walter Scott, Sir G.
