Abstract

Chapter 2 documents the place of the Moon and the night sky in the communal life of the Wordsworths and Coleridge at Alfoxden and Grasmere by tracing an interwoven series of scientific, natural, and typographical crescents in their poems, notebooks, and letters, before culminating in a reading of the 1802 revisions made to the Preface to Lyrical Ballads. It shows that star-gazing, far from being injurious to their sensibilities, was most often a memorializing pleasure for the poets and their families in the absence of John Wordsworth. The chapter focuses on the workings of allusion and communal memory in Dorothy Wordsworth’s Journals; Coleridge’s The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, ‘A Letter to ——’, and ‘A Soliloquy of the Full Moon’; and Wordsworth’s ‘Peter Bell’ and ‘The Thorn’.

第二章记录了华兹华斯和柯勒律治在阿福克斯登和格拉斯米尔的共同生活中月亮和夜空的位置,通过在他们的诗歌、笔记本和信件中追踪一系列交织在一起的科学的、自然的和印刷的新月,最后以阅读1802年对《抒情歌曲集序言》的修订为高潮。这表明,在约翰·华兹华斯缺席的情况下,观星对诗人和他们的家人来说,往往是一种纪念的乐趣,而不是伤害他们的情感。这一章着重于多萝西·华兹华斯日记中典故和共同记忆的作用;柯勒律治的《古水手咏》、《给……的一封信》和《满月的独白》;华兹华斯的《彼得·贝尔》和《荆棘》。
