Wordsworth and Word-Preserving Arts by P Simonsen

Wordsworth and Word-Preserving Arts by P Simonsen

By looking at the later Wordsworth's ekphrastic writings about visual art and his increased awareness of the printed dimension of his work, Simonsen calls attention to what is uniquely exciting about this neglected body of work, and argues that it complicates traditional understandings of Wordsworth based on his so-called Great Decade.

'Through sustained passages of subtle and often illuminating close textual reading, the visual and material nature of the later Wordsworth's ekphrastic and inscriptional poetry is disclosed' - Francesca Cauchi, Philosophy Quarterly

PETER SIMONSEN received his PhD from the University of Copenhagen, Denmark. He is currently Assistant Professor in the Department of English at the University of Southern Denmark.
