Wordsworth has traditionally been understood as the 'poet of memory'. This book argues that 'unremembered pleasure', an idea Wordsworth formulates in 'Tintern Abbey' but is often overlooked by modern readers, is central to understanding his writing.
Wordsworth has traditionally been understood as the ''poet of memory''. This book argues that ''unremembered pleasure'', an idea Wordsworth formulates in ''Tintern Abbey'' but is often overlooked by modern readers, is central to understanding his writing. Wordsworth''s poems discover and articulate a broad range of previously unfelt, unnoticed, and unconscious satisfactions. As well as providing new interpretations of major and under-studied writing by Wordsworth, this volume challenges a long tradition of psychoanalytic reading of romanticism, which uses trauma to explain the limits of literary memory. The book contests key psychoanalytic concepts in literary criticism including repression, sublimation, mourning, and pleasure. It asks what it would mean for us to be ''surprised by joy''.
