Abstract

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 .

华兹华斯的因果思想诗学

摘要:效用，至少从浪漫主义时代起就一直困扰着诗学和美学的问题，是现代文学自我认识中一个令人担忧但又构成性的问题。本文认为，在现代诗学的形成时期，对有用的问题进行了界定，认为对手段与目的关系的反思形成了华兹华斯抒情诗的一种思想形式。《老坎伯兰乞丐》的反功利主义动力暗示了一种因果诗学的思想，这种思想在后来的《在廷廷修道院几英里外的诗句》中留下了印记，并定义了《序曲》的项目。

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.
