![]() "Tintern Abbey" (1798) (again, among others) is appropriately at the core of the discussion of "Tithonus," which "draws from the language of reflection" and "employs the language of sensation, thereby dissolving the arbitrary separation of the two forms of poetry" (166).ĭiscussing influence in such poems, some of which are not obviously Wordsworthian, requires guidelines for understanding and evaluating it. I found the chapter on Maud the least convincing, mostly because Tennyson's engagement with other authors in the poem seems so much more salient. may represent Tennyson at his most Wordsworthian, and Thomas argues that "echoes and allusions" in the poem "create a pattern of both independence from and dependence on Wordsworth, a desire for unity and filiation with the older poet, alongside a desire to re-engender and reinvent" (82). Wordsworth's "Ode: Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood" (1807) is perhaps the inevitable focus for a chapter on "Ulysses," stressing the lack in Tennyson's work of the compensations and recovery found in Wordsworth. In Thomas's view, Wordsworth enables Tennyson's "concerns between the demands of a poetry concerned purely with private experience and poetry that moves away from the self and engages with life, politics, and generalised humanity" (40). Chapter 1 examines the 1832 "The Lady of Shalott" and its 1842 revision to describe Tennyson's impatience with what Arthur Henry Hallam called the poetry of sensation and Tennyson's revision of Wordsworth's "Elegiac Stanzas" (1807) and "The Green Linnet" (1807), among others. Her general approach balances Harold Bloom's antagonistic understanding of influence against Christopher Ricks's more cooperative understanding of poetic allusion. In Tennyson Echoing Wordsworth, Jayne Thomas addresses major issues in this relationship by focusing on familiar works: "The Lady of Shalott" (1832, 1842), "Ulysses" (1842), In Memoriam A. He seems to have created an effect of having all poems classified as subjective, even if the author of the poems tries to make the poems about subjects.Scholars have often recognized William Wordsworth's importance for Alfred Tennyson. William Wordsworth passed away in Rydal Mount, Westmoreland, England on (Bateson 5). Thomas De Quincy basically said that Wordsworth appeals to people’s emotions and tries to get people to think about their own lives. Wordsworth and his friend Samuel Taylor Coleridge made a book called Lyrical Ballads. For example, the poem The Ruined Cottage was about a woman who had loved ones die around the time of his brother’s death. The theme of his books usually was related to his emotions. In fact, he even said, “Readers accustomed to the gaudiness and inane phraseology of many modern writers, if they persist in reading this book to its conclusion, will perhaps frequently have to snuggle with feelings of strangeness and awkwardness”. William Wordsworth believed in writing in ways where people understood what they were reading. Many of William Wordsworth’s poems were about nature such as The Prelude, which compared a mother’s love to nature (Bloom 28). He also seemed to have a great description of nature and he focused on the “ Mind of the Man”. He believed that serious poems may describe “Situations from common life” and have normal writing styles. He believed that poems could be written in a plain style using everyday words that were easy to understand. Raisley died shortly after that and Wordsworth didn’t have to worry about money for a while. Calvert said he would share his money with Wordsworth. William Wordsworth met a man named Raisley Calvert who seemed sick. He also wrote the poem Tintern Abbey, where he seems to lose his optimistic belief when the poem states “nature never did betray the heart that loved her”. This poem shows that he lost his youthful creative mind. He wrote about his sadness in the poem Elegiac Stanza. He became very sad when his brother drowned. In 1802, he married Mary Hutchinson and they had five children. He became a student of the philosopher William Godwin. He wanted to get rid of the Monarchy by dissolving the churches. He went to France during the French Revolution and later became an enthusiastically radical politician. William Wordsworth received an education at Hawkshead Grammar School. After his dad dies, his uncles become guardians of him and his siblings. He didn’t spend much time with his father since he died after Wordsworth turned thirteen. His mother died when Wordsworth is eight. His father was a steward and an electioneering agent. ![]() He lived with his mother, father, and four siblings. His parents raised him in an upper-middle-class family. William Wordsworth came into this world on April 7th, 1770 in Cumberland, England.
