"William Wordsworth's poetry responded to the enormous literary, political, cultural, technological and social changes that the poet lived through during his lifetime (1770‒1850), and to his own transformation from young radical inspired by the French Revolution to Poet Laureate and supporter of the establishment.

This book argues that the method known as process tracing is particularly well suited to developing and assessing theories about such mechanisms.

"Much literary criticism focuses on literary producers and their products, but an important part of such work considers the end-user, the reader. It asks such questions as: how far can the author condition the response of the reader, and how much does the reader create the meaning of a text? Dr Bennett's collection includes important essays from such writers and critics as Wolfgang Iser, Mary Jacobus, Roger Chartier, Michel de Certeau, S ..."

"We would suggest that, in the first instance, you avoid contemporary remakes or other modern dramatizations. Film versions of Romeo and Juliet by Franco Zeffirelli (1968) or Baz Luhmann (1996) are brilliant in all sorts of ways, but take you quite a long way from the play Shakespeare wrote. It is easy enough to get hold of the BBC version with Patrick Ryecart, Rebecca Saire, John Gielgud and others (1978, dir. Alvin Rakoff), for ex ..."

Paperback, 288 Pages, Published 2015 by Manchester University Press
ISBN-13: 978-0-7190-9743-0, ISBN: 0-7190-9743-6

"Andrew Bennett argues in this fascinating book that ignorance is part of the narrative and poetic force of literature and is an important aspect of its thematic focus: ignorance is what literary texts are about. He sees that the dominant conception of literature since the Romantic period involves an often unacknowledged engagement with the experience of not knowing. From Wordsworth and Keats to George Eliot and Charles Dickens, from He ..."






William Wordsworth in Context
by Andrew Bennett
Published 2015 by Cambridge University Press
ISBN-13: 978-1-316-23982-7, ISBN: 1-316-23982-9

"Wordsworth's account of a British reading public feverishly attached to extravagant narratives helps us to understand his effort to craft a curative poetry rooted in plain language and honest emotion. At this point it may be worth pausing to consider together the two kinds ...
