Abstract

abstract:In "Floating Island at Hawkshead, An Incident in the Schemes of Nature," a poem dated to the late 1820s, Dorothy Wordsworth (1771–1855) expresses, resists, and embraces ephemerality. She imagines an island breaking off from the shore and eventually vanishing, when it becomes "[b]uried beneath the glittering Lake" where "the lost fragments shall remain, / To fertilize some other ground." Reading this poem as a commentary on the fragmentary nature of both the archive and posthumous literary circulation, especially as it relates to the processes of remediation, this essay uses the poem's media history to account for the biographical construction of Wordsworth as a private, domestic writer.

多萝西·华兹华斯的分解作品:现代手稿的保存、遗失与修复
多萝西·华兹华斯(1771-1855)在创作于19世纪20年代末的一首诗《霍克黑德浮岛,大自然计划中的一件事》中表达、抵制并拥抱了短暂。她想象着一座岛屿从海岸上分离出来,最终消失,当它“被埋在闪闪发光的湖下”,“失去的碎片将留在那里,/滋润其他土地”。阅读这首诗,作为对档案和死后文学流通的碎片性的评论,特别是因为它与补救过程有关,这篇文章利用这首诗的媒体历史来解释华兹华斯作为一个私人的,家庭作家的传记结构。
