The Absent God in the Works of William Wordsworth PDF
by Eliza Borkowska
Part of the Routledge Studies in Romanticism series
Description
Called by one of its reviewers "Wordsworth's biographia literaria," this book takes its reader on a fascinating journey into the mind of the poet whose attitude to God and religion points to a major shift in Western culture. The monograph probes the philosophical foundations of Wordsworth's religious outlook, drawing attention to this First Generation Romantic poet as the author who happened to record in his verse the rise to prominence of some of the intellectual and spiritual challenges and the most troublesome uncertainties that have defined Western man ever since. The book constitutes a self-contained whole and can be read independently. Simultaneously, it creates an unusual duet with the companion volume, The Presence of God in the Works of William Wordsworth. These two works can be regarded as contraries-or negatives: one offering an ironically positive reading of Wordsworth's religious discourse, the other offering a reading which is positively negative.
