This book considers William Wordsworth's use of iconography in his
long poem The Excursion. Through the iconographical approach, the
author steers a middle course between The Excursion's two very
different interpretive traditions, one focusing upon the poem's
philosophical abstraction, the other upon its touristic realism.
Fresh readings are also offered of Wordsworth's other major works,
including The Prelude. Yen explores Wordsworth's iconography in The
Excursion by tracing allusions and correspondences in an abundance
of post-1789 and earlier verbal and pictorial sources, as well as
in Wordsworth's prose and poetry. He analyses how the
iconographical images in The Excursion contribute to, and impose
limitations on, the overarching preoccupations of Wordsworth's
writings, particularly the themes of paradise lost and paradise
regained in the post-revolutionary context. Shedding light on a
vital aspect of Wordsworth's poetic method, this study reveals the
visual etymologies - together with the nuances and rhetorical
capacities - of five categories of apparently 'collateral' images:
envisioning, rooting, dwelling, flowing, and reflecting.
