At the heart of Wordsworth's concerns is the question of how travel
- both foreign and everyday - might also become an adventure into
philosophy itself. This is an art of travel both as an approach to
experience - one that draws on habits in order to revise them in
the shock of new - and as a poetic approach that gives voice to the
singular and foreign through the unique shapes of verse. Close
readings of Wordsworth's 'pictures of Nature, Man, and Society'
show how the natural is entangled with - and not simply opposed to,
as many critics have suggested - the social, the political and the
historical in this verse. This book draws on both
eighteenth-century anthropology and travel literature, and debates
in modern critical theory, to highlight Wordsworth's remarkable
originality and his ongoing ability to transform our theoretical
prejudgements in the unknown territory of the travel encounter.
