Hardback. This scholarly study presents a new political Wordsworth: an artist interested in 'autonomous' poetry's redistribution of affect.

He renders poetry a critical instrument that, through acute feeling, can evaluate public and private life. Num Pages: 214 pages, biography. BIC Classification: DSA; DSBD; DSBF; DSC. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 216 x 140 x 14. Weight in Grams: 354.
