| Abstract | |
This dissertation is an introduction to the works of William Wordsworth (1770-1850). It is divided into six chapters, organized under two main lines. Chapters 2, 4 and 6 focus exclusively on William Wordsworth\'s poems: chapter 2 discussing the Lyrical Ballads (1798) in comparison to the different literatures of the period; chapter 4 focusing on Tintern Abbey and the poet\'s uniqueness, while at the same time researching the modes of thought that occur in poetry, and the invention of the poetic \"I\". The last chapter of this triad focuses on the author\'s autobiography, The prelude (1805/1850); it is a short text, concerned with the notion of what books are. The second triad chapters 1, 3 and 5 creates an environment for the reading of the poems: three portraits of people who were part of the poet\'s circle of friends and influences. The first one is on the poet\'s sister, Dorothy Wordsworth, and on her diary-writing. The second one is on S.T. Coleridge, who co-wrote the Lyrical Ballads. The last one is on John \"Walking\" Stewart, an utopian as well as a literal fellow-traveler. (AU) | |
