Description

First published in 1962, this book reveals unexpected complexity or equivocation in Wordsworths use of certain key words, particularly `image, `form and `shape. The author endeavours to show that this complexity is related to the poets awareness of the ambiguity of the perceptual process. Numerous passages from The Prelude and other poems are analysed to illustrate the argument and to show that, because of this doubt or hidden perplexity, Wordsworths poetry has a far richer texture, is more concentrated, intricately organised and loaded with ambivalent meanings than it would otherwise have been. New light is also shed on Wordsworths debt to Akenside.
