Summary
Not least among many items of interest in Nathaniel Hawthorne’s English Notebooks is the account of the trip the author took to the Lake District during the summer of 1855. Bennett (London: Bennett, 1864); William Dickinson, Cumbriana: Or Fragments of Cumbrian Life (London: Whittaker and Whitehaven: Callander and Dixon, 1876); William Knight, The English Lake District as Interpreted in the Poems of William Wordsworth (Edinburgh: David Douglas, 1878); Henry Frith, ‘Wanderings in Wordsworthshire’, Golden Hours, 14 (1881), When viewed in light of this long list of places, Hawthorne’s visit to Rydal appears as what it is: one of a multitude of attempts to read Wordsworth back onto the locations where he had lived and from which he had drawn inspiration The consolidation of this literary landscape in Victorian guidebooks and in annotated editions of Wordsworth’s works has been extensively, if not exhaustively, elaborated elsewhere.[34] But what is generally less well appreciated – even surprising – is the sheer number and the range of different locations that landscape comprised. As we shall see, facilitate new reading practices that help us to assess multiple accounts comparatively and, geographically, to uncover hidden relations between them
