Focusing on the poems of Wordsworth's "Great Decade," feminist
critics have tended to see Wordsworth as an exploiter of women and
"feminine" perspectives. In this original and provocative book,
Judith Page examines works from throughout Wordsworth's long career
to offer a more nuanced feminist account of the poet's values. She
asks questions about Wordsworth and women from the point of view of
the women themselves and of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century
culture. Making extensive use of family letters, journals, and
other documents, as well as unpublished material by the poet's
daughter Dora Wordsworth, Page presents Wordsworth as a poet not
defined primarily by egotistical sublimity but by his complicated
and conflicted endorsement of domesticity and familial life. This
title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which
commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out
and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and
impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes
high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using
print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in
1994.
