- This c.95,000-word monograph consists of an introduction, six chapters, an epilogue, and two appendices. The book explores poetry and prose written by William Wordsworth between 1807 and 1822, a period in which he undertook an extensive study of monastic history. The scope of the research, therefore, involves consideration of the impact upon Wordsworth’s writing of a range of topographical, hagiographic, and ecclesiastical sources from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. It also considers the significance of picturesque aesthetics and garden history. The final chapter looks forward by situating Wordsworth in the context of Victorian medievalism.
