This study presents a contextual and intertextual reading of James Thomson''s (1700--1748) poem The Seasons, taking into consideration some of the presuppositions and habitus of the text''s cultural community and the function of the poem''s many intertextual allusions. An intertextual reading reveals The Seasons, though heterogeneous on its surface, as coherent in its cultural functionality. An analysis of the poem''s intertext uncovers textual strategies that attempt to re-legitimise poetic discourse as a culturally relevant force especially in relation to the newly privileged discourse of natural philosophy.
