| Summary: |
This is the first extended study of Wordsworth's complex, subtle, and often conflicted engagement with the material and cultural legacies of monasticism. It reveals that a set of topographical, antiquarian, and ecclesiastical sources consulted by Wordsworth between 1806 and 1822 provided extensive details of the routines, structures, landscapes, and architecture of the medieval monastic system. In addition to offering a new way of thinking about religious dimensions of Wordsworth's work and his views on Roman Catholicism, the text offers original insights into a range of important issues in his poetry and prose, including the historical resonances of the landscape, local attachment and memorialisation, gardening and cultivation, Quakerism and silence, solitude and community, pastoral retreat and national identity. |
