William Wordsworth and the Ecology of Authorship : The Roots on Enviromentalism in Nineteenth-Century Culture Hardback

Hardback

Description

In William Wordsworth and the Ecology of Authorship, Scott Hess explores Wordsworth's defining role in establishing what he designates as ""the ecology of authorship"": a primarily middle-class, nineteenth-century conception of nature associated with aesthetics, high culture, individualism, and nation.

Instead of viewing Wordsworth as an early ecologist, Hess places him within a context that is largely cultural and aesthetic.

The supposedly universal Wordsworthian vision of nature, Hess argues, was in this sense specifically male, middle-class, professional, and culturally elite -- factors that continue to shape the environmental movement today.
