That man is far from being an artist, my dear, whose last and deepest enthusiasm is the raffiné, the eccentric and satanic; who does not know the longing for the innocent, the simple, and the living, for a little friendship, devotion, familiar human happiness – the gnawing, surreptitious hankering, Lisabeta, for the bliss of the commonplace.  \nThomas Mann, Tonio Kröger  \nContents  \nList of Illustrations viii  \nList of Abbreviations ix  \nAcknowledgements xi  \nIntroduction: The Secret Histories of ‘Wordsworth’ 1  \nSecret Agents 1  \nThe Case History: ‘Wordsworth’ the Poem 12  \n‘Wordsworth’ as History 25  \nThe History of ‘Wordsworth’ 29  \n1 The Spectral Mother 33  \nThe Woman in White 33  \n‘The ghosts of dead mothers’ 45  \nMummies 53  \n2 The Elided Father 67  \nThe Language of Nature 67  \nDedicated Spirits 76  \nInbetweens 95  \n3 Describing the Revolution 113  \nSquaring the Circle 113  \nArguing in a Circle 126  \nCold Carnival 141  \n4 Changing Spots 150  \nPower Poetry 150  \nRestoration Drama 167  \nHolmes at Grasmere 181  \n5 The Shock of the Old 193  \n‘Poetically ele","cbCaiqxBhaInM4tz","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqxBhaInM4tz","pdf",7403429,277,"English","# Contents\n## List of Illustrations\n## List of Abbreviations\n## Acknowledgements\n## Introduction: The Secret Histories of ‘Wordsworth’\n## Secret Agents\n## The Case History: ‘Wordsworth’ the Poem\n## ‘Wordsworth’ as History\n## The History of ‘Wordsworth’\n## 1 The Spectral Mother\n## 2 The Elided Father\n## 3 Describing the Revolution\n## 4 Changing Spots\n## 5 The Shock of the Old\n## Notes\n## Works Cited\n## Index","[{\"question\":\"What is the main focus of Wordsworth: A Poet’s History by Keith Hanley?\",\"answer\":\"It examines William Wordsworth’s literary identity through history, politics, family psychology, and the mechanisms of poetic representation.
