The Simple Wordsworth: Studies in the Poems 1979-1807 - RLE: Wordsworth and Coleridge
John F. Danby
First published in 1960, this book studies Wordsworth?s ?simple? poems, such as the Lyrical Ballads, as products of a sophisticated and powerfully successful literary genius. The author aims to approach the poems as perhaps Wordsworth expected his first readers to; but as they have never been in fact. The result of this approach is to discover a Wordsworth far different to that which he has previously been presented as ? the ?Sage of Rydal? at one extreme and a naïve perpetrator of poetical blunders at the other ? and, the author argues, a far more exciting one. This book will be of interest to students of literature.
