Synopsis
Excerpt from The Rediscovery of Wordsworth
N writing this book I have had three classes of people in mind. First, those who know practically nothing about Wordsworth, but who might be drawn into the circle of his in?uence should the right word be said. Second, those who know enough of the Poet to realize that they should go much farther, but who lack the guid ing clue. Third, those who know a great deal of Words worth as an honored poet of one hundred years ago, but who have not appreciated the unique significance of his message for our own particular time. Perhaps it is fair to add that I have named the classes of hoped-for readers in the reverse order of importance, as the matter has lain in my mind. At least I have felt that the message of the Poet is the main thing, and that there is no accounting for his steadily increasing in?uence, evidenced m so many ways, other than on the ground that to the modern world, to use his own expression, he has become, or is becoming A Mighty Voice. It has been my aim to show how closely his teachings fit into our present post-war situation, and to do this in a somewhat detailed way, passing from the lower to the higher, that is from nature to man, from man to society, and from society to the ethical and philosophical principles that underlie his work. Then, in order that the totality of impression might not be missed, I have added a brief summary at the end.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book illuminates the works of William Wordsworth and their relevance to the post-war world. In the early 19th century, the author argues, Wordsworth provided a timely message of nature's restorative and introspective power. This book argues, in light of two recent global conflicts and the emotional fallout that followed, Wordsworth's writings are as pertinent now as they were then. The author leads the reader on a path through the poet's major themes of nature, humanity, and the power of childhood to heal the wounds inflicted by the difficulties of adult life. The author contends that Wordsworth provided a path back to oneself and reasserts the poet's profound significance for our own time.
