Shedding fresh light on Wordsworth's contested relationship with an
England that changed dramatically over the course of his career,
James Garrett places the poet's lifelong attempt to control his
literary representation within the context of national ideas of
self-determination represented by the national census, national
survey, and national museum. Garrett provides historical background
on the origins of these three institutions, which were initiated in
Britain near the turn of the nineteenth century, and shows how
their development converged with Wordsworth's own as a writer. The
result is a new narrative for Wordsworth studies that re-integrates
the early, middle, and late periods of the poet's career. Detailed
critical discussions of Wordsworth's poetry, including works that
are not typically accorded significant attention, force us to
reconsider the usual view of Wordsworth as a fading middle-aged
poet withdrawing into the hills. Rather, Wordsworth's ceaseless
reworking of earlier poems and the flurry of new publications
between 1814 and 1820 reveal Wordsworth as an engaged public figure
attempting to 'write the nation' and position himself as the
nation's poet.
