Wordsworth And Word-Preserving Arts
Proposes a fundamental revaluation of the central poet of British Romanticism. Looking at the later Wordsworth's ekphrastic writings about visual art and by relating these innovations to Wordsworth's sense that he was writing for posterity, this book argues that it complicates traditional understandings of Wordsworth based on his Great Decade.
