This new reading of Wordworth's poetry by leading critic David
Simpson centers on its almost obsessive representation of spectral
forms and images of death in life. Wordsworth is reacting, Simpson
argues, to the massive changes in the condition of England and the
modern world at the turn of the century: mass warfare; the
increased scope of machine-driven labor and urbanization; and the
expanding power of commodity form in rendering economic and social
exchange more and more abstract, more and more distant from human
agency and control. Reading Wordsworth alongside Marx and Derrida,
Simpson examines the genesis of an attitude of concern which
exemplifies the predicament of modern subjectivity as it faces
suffering and distress.
