William Wordsworth, Second-Generation Romantic

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In providing a comprehensive reading of 'late' Wordsworth (1814-1840) that reveals how his major poems contest poetic and political issues with his younger contemporaries (Keats, Shelley, Byron), this work intertwines literature and history showing that ideological conflicts between authors create dialogic encounters within their poetic texts.
