This text aims to redefine the place of the Wordsworthian imagination in a cultural moment often classified as the transition from "Romantic" to "Victorian". Taking The Excursion and a constellation of related texts as a framework, the book suggests that the staggering critical neglect of Wordsworth s major project is correlated with the persistent inability of literary historians to chart that transition. To understand this elusive phase of literary and cultural history, the author proposes, we need to understand Wordsworth s role in it. The book reevaluates the significance of The Excursion, both in Wordsworth s corpus and in the contexts of the French Revolution and the post-Napoleonic industrial/imperial order leading up to the Reform Bill of 1832. Through a series of theoretically informed readings of The Excursion alongside other Wordsworthian texts, the author reveals Wordsworth s ongoing vital engagement with questions of imagination and ideology, questions that persist, in ever-shifting forms, through the continuities and discontinuities of historical context.
