A new collection of the author's essays, written over a twenty-year period, on the meaning of The Prelude. The essays in this book meditate deeply on Wordsworths own theory of literature, and probe into questions that few critics have bothered to ask, yet which, when asked, seem very central indeed. Topics treated include The Sublime and the Beautiful; Literary Echoes in The Prelude; Wordsworths Aesthetics of Landscape; Wordsworths Imaginations; The Fancy; The Poetry of Nature; sight as The Most Despotic of our Senses; the Snowdon vision and 'The descent from Snowdon'; A Sense of the Infinite
