"It is a book of great learning....it remains consistently appreciative in an exemplary way, seriously attempting to enter Victorian taste and to re-imagine the validity of styles of reading that can seem wholly alien."-- The Wordsworth Circle, 'It is a book of great learning, though it wears that lightly, and at times with a certain wry humour; but it remains consistently appreciative in an exemplary way, seriously attempting to enter Victorian taste and to re-imagine the validity of styles of reading that can seem wholly alien ...Gill describes with great verve the rival editions and anthologies that competed to re-create the image of the poet whilst battling for market share.'Seamus Perry, The Wordsworth Circle Vol XXIX no4 Autumn 98, 'Stephen Gill traces, with academic thoroughness and originality, not just Wordsworth's influence on Victorian writers but also his promotion as 'a marketable commodity'.'The Keswick Reminder, "It is a book of great learning....it remains consistently appreciative in an exemplary way, seriously attempting to enter Victorian taste and to re-imagine the validity of styles of reading that can seem wholly alien."--The Wordsworth Circle, Gill's lively and informative new study is an addendum to an by-product of his Life published in 1989. ... The vexed question of Wordsworth's politics is shrewdly discussed. ... What begins as an academic exercise turns into a fascinating debate about the state of the nation, trailingclouds of glory and ghastly Heritage along with it like Marley's chain./ William Scammell, a poet who lives in the Lake District/New Statesman and Society 14/08/98, 'A book of great learning... a times with a certain wry humour: but it remains consistently appreciative in an exemplary way, seriously attempting to enter Victorian taste and to re-imagine the validity of styles of reading that can seem wholly alien... Gill describes with great verve therival editions and anthologies that competed to re-create the image of the poet while battling for market share.'Seamus Perry, The Wordsworth Circle Vol.29 No.4, Autumn '98, This fascinating study sheds much valuable light on Victorian literary society and in the nature of fame itself. It is a most stimulating book which anyone interested in English Literature will read to his advantage./ Contemporary Review/ 01/08/98, 'Wordsworth and the Victorians is much more than a literary history. It is a major study of the way in which the Victorians responded to and remade a central part of their Romantic inheritance. And of how that inheritance reciprocally constructed the imagination, the very consciousness, ofVictorian men and women.'Chris Brooks, BARS no 16 September 1999, 'This resourceful, thoughtful and informative book synthesises these various interests in a way that makes for a decidedly new and illuminating approach. We hear a lot these days about 'cultural studies': this is a cultural study of the very best kind.'Alan Shelston, Gaskell Society Journal, 13, the construction of "Wordsworth", was the work of thousands of anonymous and devoted craftsmen, guided by a preconceived design. Gill's account of his process is absorbing and superbly detailed. ... A poet's most fitting memorial is our continued passionate engagement with his poetryStephen Gill's stimulating book is nourishd by just such an engagement./ Daniel Karlin, Professor of English at University College of London and Ed. of New Penguin Bk of Verse, 1997 TLS Sept 18, 1998 The Romantics

Synopsis
Wordsworth and the Victorians tells the story of the flowering of Wordsworth's reputation and influence in the Victorian era. Stephen Gill uses a large amount of anecdotal and biographical material to illustrate the various ways in which Wordsworth's reputation was diffused. How poets and novelists such as Matthew Arnold and George Eliot transmitted the Wordsworthian spirit is examined, but so also is the personal testimony of critics, scholars, and ordinary readers, explaining just what Wordsworth's poetry meant to them., Wordsworth and the Victorians tells the story of the flowering of Wordsworth's reputation and influence in the Victorian era. Stephen Gill uses a range of anecdotal and biographical material to illustrate the various ways in which Wordsworth's reputation was diffused. The transmission of the Wordsworthian spirit by poets and novelists such as Matthew Arnold and George Eliot is examined, as is the personal testimony of critics, scholars, and ordinary readers., Wordsworth was an eighteenth-century contemporary of Blake and his greatest poetry was composed before Keats had written a line. His impact, however, was not fully registered until the Victorian period, when it became common to place his poetry in the great line of Spenser, Shakespeare, and Milton. In part this book examines how it influenced the Victorian poets and novelists who acknowledged its importance to them. However, drawing on a variety of sources from autobiographical memoirs to publishers' accounts, Wordsworth and the Victorians also examines the emergence of Wordsworth as a cultural icon and the various ways in which his reputation was constructed and transmitted through the agency not of literary giants but of critics, scholars, publishers, and latterly the disciples of the Wordsworth Society. For some readers, ranging from Quakers to Anglo-Catholics, Wordsworth was primarily a religious poet. For others, by contrast, his strength was that he was spiritually uplifting without being doctrinally specific, and this study includes testimonies from many who witnessed what Wordsworth had meant to them at times of crisis. For other readers, who valued the Guide to the Lakes as much as, if not more than, Wordsworth's verse, Wordsworth's importance was that as laureate of Nature he could be pressed into service for the cause of environmental protection. The book finally examines Wordsworth's role, thirty and more years after his death, in the battle to establish the National Trust.

- b***b (239)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimi 6 mesiAcquisto verificatoIt was a tribute to how well the seller packaged the book that it made it here in very good condition. The tracking had to leaving Louisville, then to Dallas then inexplicably back to Louisville then back to Dallas and you could tell from the packaging that it had had a rough ride. I’m very glad the seller packed it well. This is why you always package heavy books well, because the postal service treats it worse than the airport treats your luggage. Good value, quality book, nice appearance
