William Wordsworth (1770-1850) needs little introduction as the
central figure in Romantic poetry and a crucial influence in the
development of poetry generally. This broad-ranging survey
redefines the variety of his writing by showing how it incorporates
contemporary concepts of language difference and the ways in which
popular and serious literature were compared and distinguished
during this period. It discusses many of Wordsworth's later poems,
comparing his work with that of his regional contemporaries as well
as major writers such as Scott. The key theme of relationship, both
between characters within poems and between poet and reader, is
explored through Wordsworth's construction of community and his use
of power relationships. A serious discussion of the place of sexual
feeling in his writing is also included.
