The rhymes in poems are important to understanding how poets write;
and in the nineteenth century, rhyme conditioned the ways in which
poets heard both themselves and each other writing. Sound
Intentions studies the significance of rhyme in the work of
Wordsworth, Keats, Tennyson, Christina Rossetti, Hopkins and other
poets, including Coleridge, Byron, Elizabeth Barrett Browning,
Swinburne, and Hardy. The book's stylistic reading of
nineteenth-century poetry argues for Wordsworth's centrality to
issues of intention and chance in poets' work, and offers a reading
of the formal choices made in poetry as profoundly revealing points
of intertextual relation. Sound Intentions includes detailed
consideration of the critical meaning of both rhyme and repetition,
bringing to bear an emphasis on form as poetry's crucial
proving-ground. In a series of detailed readings of important
poems, the book shows how close formal attention goes beyond
critical formalism, and can become a way of illuminating poets'
deepest preoccupations, doubts, and beliefs. Wordsworth's sounding
of his own poetic voice, in blank verse as well as rhyme, is here
taken as a model for the ways in which later nineteenth-century
poets attend to the most perplexing and important voicings of their
own poetic originality.
