Abstract
I referred forward to Wordsworth when discussing Pope, and it is clear that anyone committed to exploring, as reader or as writer, the sources of poetry, and the power of the language of poetry to grasp a transcendent world, must engage with him sooner or later. For not only did Wordsworth renew the understanding of inspiration, in a perspective quite different from that of Milton, and of the process by which reality is changed when drawn into ‘the mystery of words’, but he also exemplifies, in English writing, the specific desire for a transcendence within the everyday.KeywordsBook VersusParadise LostChristian PerspectiveSpecific DesireAncient EarthThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
