A. This is the first book systematically to examine the intrusion
of personal voice into the poetry of landscape in Britain in the
long eighteenth century. B. The argument of the book proceeds from
the premise that strong conventions, such as those that inhere in
topographical verse of the period, stimulate original writers to
overstep those bounds, resulting in verse that engages issues and
energies far deeper than those of pictorial description. C. The
book makes a strong claim for the autobiographical emphasis of much
eighteenth-century poetry of place. D. The book hews to close
readings as the soundest way to identify the often subtle shifts of
tone and structure that betray the workings of agendae that may be
operating under cover of conventional landscape poetry. E. The book
supplements traditionally aesthetic and political readings of
eighteenth-century British landscape poetry, suggesting not only
that the autobiographical impulse is a distinctive and innovative
feature of much great eighteenth-century poetry of place but also
that the correlation of self and place, a topic of current interest
to humanist geographers, is powerfully manifested in the landscape
poetry of this period.
