Wordsworth After War
A rich, illuminating study of how Wordsworth's late poetry reflects his lifelong engagement with the poetics and politics of peace.
The Excursion and Wordsworth's Iconography
Through a wide variety of verbal and pictorial references, this book demonstrates how Wordsworth's iconography, albeit apparently 'collateral', makes crucial contributions to his central arguments and preoccupations in The Excursion, as well as in his other major works.
Buried Communities
Offers an explanation for the poet's mysterious and longstanding preoccupation with death and grief.
Literary Advertising and the Shaping of British Romanticism
Mason uses the antics of Romantic-era advertising to illustrate the profound implications of commercial modernity, both in economic practices governing the book trade and, more broadly, in the development of the modern idea of literature.
William Wordsworth, Second-Generation Romantic
Comprehensive reading of 'late' Wordsworth, considering his work in dialogue with the poetic, cultural and political battles of his day.
Romantic Poets and the Culture of Posterity
This 1999 book examines the way in which the Romantic period's culture of posterity inaugurates a tradition of writing which demands that the poet should write for an audience of the future: the true poet, a figure of neglected genius, can be properly appreciated only after death. Andrew Bennett argues that this involves a radical shift in the conceptualization of the poet and poetic reception, with wide-ranging implications for the poetry and poetics of the Romantic period. He surveys the contexts for this transformation of the relationship between poet and audience, engaging with issues such as the commercialization of poetry, the gendering of the canon, and the construction of poetic identity. Bennett goes on to discuss the strangely compelling effects which this reception theory produces in the work of Wordsworth, Coleridge, Keats, Shelley and Byron, who have come to embody, for posterity, the figure of the Romantic poet.
Honor, Romanticism, and the Hidden Value of Modernity
This rich cultural history shows how honor, as much as freedom, inspired poets, novelists, and abolitionists of the nineteenth century.
