Abstract
Abstract:This essay describes how Wordsworth’s poetry engages with geographical materialism to inscribe an antipodean aesthetics that raise questions about imaginative interactions between proximate and distant. These become crucial to Wordsworth’s representation of antithesis and reversal across time as well as space. It considers how Wordsworth introduced the politics of colonization to contemplate the status of local indigeneity in relation to metaphors of global cartography. It then addresses how figures of transposition, self-contradiction and doubling permeate The Excursion and concludes by suggesting ways in which such an antipodean imaginary can be seen as integral to the larger designs of Wordsworth’s poetry.
期刊介绍：
Studies in Romanticism was founded in 1961 by David Bonnell Green at a time when it was still possible to wonder whether "romanticism" was a term worth theorizing (as Morse Peckham deliberated in the first essay of the first number). It seemed that it was, and, ever since, SiR (as it is known to abbreviation) has flourished under a fine succession of editors: Edwin Silverman, W. H. Stevenson, Charles Stone III, Michael Cooke, Morton Palet, and (continuously since 1978) David Wagenknecht. There are other fine journals in which scholars of romanticism feel it necessary to appear - and over the years there are a few important scholars of the period who have not been represented there by important work.
