About this title

Synopsis

To understand and value Wordsworth’s efforts to make poetry a tool of cultural intervention, critics must, like him, struggle with the Cartesian dualisms that dominate Western culture. Drawing on a number of interdisciplinary sources, including classical rhetoricians Isocrates and Quintilian, and twentieth-century scientists Gregory Bateson and Antonio Damasio, this study develops a coherent framework for understanding Wordsworth’s efforts to refigure the relationships that constitute knowing. Sullivan argues that Wordsworth sketched out an �ecology of mind� in which perception, feeling, thinking, and acting were related in a continuum of mental processes, and in which individual minds had a mutually shaping, integrative relationship with larger mind-like processes (particularly �Nature�). This study also shows how this �ecology of mind� can offer significant insight to learners in the twenty-first century.
