Early Romantics XXVI Climbing Mt. Snowdon in Prelude XIII

Published: May 4, 2019, 1:34 p.m.

We complete our discussion of the Prelude by looking at the Snowdon scene in Book XIII, with a lot of comparison to the unfortunate and enfeebling revisions Wordsworth made in Book XIV of the 1850 version.\xa0 One student reads Oppen's "The Forms of Love" as a kind of pendant to the Snowdon scene.\xa0 I notice a bunch of things that I don't think I ever did before a connection to\xa0King Lear for example, and\xa0something about Wordsworth's prosody in the 1805 version.
