Wordsworth wrote that he longed to compose 'some philosophic Song/Of fact that cherishes our day-by-day life'. but he by no means complete The Recluse, his lengthy philosophical poem. Simon Jarvis argues that Wordsworth's aspiration to 'philosophic music' is primary to his greatness, and adjusted the way in which English poetry used to be written. a few critics see Wordworth as a scientific philosopher, whereas for others he's a poet first, and a philosopher simply (if in any respect) moment. Jarvis exhibits as a substitute how crucial either philosophy and the 'song' of poetry have been to Wordsworth's success. Drawing on complicated paintings in continental philosophy and social concept to deal with the ideological assaults that have ruled a lot contemporary observation, Jarvis reads Wordsworth's writing either seriously and philosophically, to teach how Wordsworth thinks via and in verse. This examine rethinks the relation among poetry and society itself via analysing the tensions among considering philosophically and writing poetry.
