Wordsworth and Word-Preserving Arts: Typographic Inscription, Ekphrasis and Posterity in the Later WorkPalgrave Macmillan, 31. juuli 2007 - 216 pages This title proposes a fundamental revaluation of the central poet of British Romanticism. By looking at the later Wordsworth's ekphrastic writings about visual art and his increased awareness of the printed dimension of his work, and by relating these innovations to Wordsworth's sense that he was writing for posterity, Simonsen calls attention to what is uniquely exciting about this neglected body of work, and argues that it complicates traditional understandings of Wordsworth based on his so-called Great Decade. |
