The study analyzes key poems and moments such as “Tintern Abbey,” “Resolution and Independence,” and “Elegiac Stanzas,” tracing the evolution of the “I” from private mediation to public transformation. It connects rhetorical style with mental processes, concluding with the Prelude as a major lyric and considering the broader implications for selfhood in literature.",{"@graph":69,"@context":122},[70,84,105],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":15,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/literature/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/wordsworth-in-his-major-lyrics-the-art-and-psychology-of-self-representation/320402/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/wordsworth-in-his-major-lyrics-the-art-and-psychology-of-self-representation/320402.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"Aurelia","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-26","2026-09-21",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":24},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",{"@type":106,"mainEntity":107},"FAQPage",[108,114,118],{"name":109,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":111},"What is the main focus of the book on Wordsworth’s major lyrics?","Question",{"text":112,"@type":113},"The book focuses on how Wordsworth’s lyrics represent and dramatize the self, examining the art and psychology of literary self-representation.","Answer",{"name":115,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":116},"How does the book treat “Tintern Abbey”?",{"text":117,"@type":113},"It studies the dramatics of self-representation in “Tintern Abbey,” explaining how the lyric voice performs and reshapes subjectivity within the poem.",{"name":119,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":120},"What poems and sections does the book use to trace the development of the “I”?",{"text":121,"@type":113},"It analyzes multiple works including “Tintern Abbey,” “Resolution and Independence,” and “Elegiac Stanzas,” and it frames the conclusion around the Prelude as a major lyric.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":83,"og:type":124,"og:title":65,"og:site_name":95,"og:description":67},"article",{"robots":126,"canonical":83},"index,follow",{"doc_id":128,"site_id":62},320402,1790703659,{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":131},{"doc_id":128,"user_id":132,"nickname":92,"user_avatar":133,"doc_module":4,"category_id":14,"category_name":15,"doc_title":65,"doc_description":67,"doc_content":134,"file_id":135,"file_url":136,"file_type":137,"file_size":138,"view_count":24,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":8,"is_downloadable":8,"audit_status":8,"page_count":139,"language":140,"language_code":63,"site_id":62,"html_lang":63,"table_of_contents":141,"faqs":142,"seo_title":143,"seo_description":67,"update_tm":144,"read_time":145},1099514068365,"https://ap-avatar.wpscdn.com/avatar/10000253d8d9f28188e?_k=1776742907772140068","Wordsworth in His Major Lyrics: The Art and Psychology of Self-Representation  \nLeon Waldoff  \nUniversity of Missouri Press  \nWordsworth  \nin His Major Lyrics  \nWordsworth  \nin His Major Lyrics  \nLeon Waldoff  \nUniversity of Missouri Press  \nColumbia and London  \nCopyright © 2001 by  \nThe Curators ofthe University of Missouri  \nUniversity of Missouri Press, Columbia, Missouri 65201 Printed and bound in the United States of America All rights reserved  \n5 4 3 2 1 05 04 03 02 01  \nLibrary of Congress Cataloging-in-Publication Data  \nWaldoff, Leon, 1935–  \nWordsworth in his major lyrics: the art and psychology of selfrepresentation / Leon Waldoff.  \n[p. cm](p. cm).  \nIncludes bibliographical references and index.  \nISBN 0-8262-1329-4 (alk. paper)  \n1.

I am especially indebted to Richard Matlak and Douglas Wilson for criticisms and suggestions that forced me to rethink or develop further certain parts of the argument, as well as for their continuing interest in and enthusiasm for the project. During much of the writing I was fortunate to have the advice and friendship of the late Stuart Sperry. I have learned a great deal from discussions of Wordsworth with many students, both undergraduate and graduate, particularly in seminars and independent study courses. An early version of Chapter 5 was presented as a paper at the 1993 MLA Convention in Toronto and I benefited from the criticisms provided by my fellow panelists, Kevis Goodman, Alan Liu, and Cliff Spargo. I am grateful to the editors of American Imago and to The Johns Hopkins University Press for permission to reprint portions of my 1990 essay “Romantic Recognitions”in revised form. Jesse Delia, Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at the University of Illinois, and Dennis Baron, Head of the English Department, provided financial support of the project. Bill Ogg at the University of Illinois Library was consistently helpful with many requests, and Ju","cbCaifJzSDegB1GC","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifJzSDegB1GC","pdf",830949,193,"English","# Introduction\n# The Lyrical “I” as a Self-Dramatization: Wordsworth’s Transitional Self\n# The Dramatics of Self-Representation in “Tintern Abbey”\n# In the Mind’s Eye/“I”: “Resolution and Independence”\n# The “I” of the Ode: Public Performance, Subjective Transformation\n# “Elegiac Stanzas”: The Poet in His Letters and the “I” of the Poem\n# Conclusion: The Prelude as a Major Lyric\n# Works Cited\n# Index","[{\"question\":\"What is the main focus of the book on Wordsworth’s major lyrics?\",\"answer\":\"The book focuses on how Wordsworth’s lyrics represent and dramatize the self, examining the art and psychology of literary self-representation.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the book treat “Tintern Abbey”?\",\"answer\":\"It studies the dramatics of self-representation in “Tintern Abbey,” explaining how the lyric voice performs and reshapes subjectivity within the poem.\"},{\"question\":\"What poems and sections does the book use to trace the development of the “I”?\",\"answer\":\"It analyzes multiple works including “Tintern Abbey,” “Resolution and Independence,” and “Elegiac Stanzas,” and it frames the conclusion around the Prelude as a major lyric.\"}]","Wordsworth in His Major Lyrics - The Art and Psychology of Self-Representation | PDF",1789949846,297]
