Abstract: Utility, bugbear of poetics and aesthetics since at least the time of the Romantics, appears as a fraught but constitutive question in modern literature's self-understanding. This essay considers a defining engagement with the question of the useful at a formative moment of modern poetics, arguing that reflection on means-ends relations shapes a form of thought in Wordsworth's lyric poetry. The anti-utilitarian impetus of "The Old Cumberland Beggar" intimates a causal poetics of thought that goes on to stamp the seminal "Lines Composed a Few Miles Above Tintern Abbey" and define the project of The Prelude .
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.
