Abstract

Abstract:Partly owing to a near-exclusive reliance on the final edition of 1835, commentary on William Wordsworth’s Guide to the Lakes has overlooked how deeply rooted his notorious tirade against the European larch three is in a local environmental crisis of 1809–10. Specifically, Wordsworth’s denigration of larches is a direct rejoinder to the Bishop of Llandaff’s dogged efforts to cloak the central Lakes in millions of larches in the name of agrarian progress, personal wealth, and national security. As such, the Guide evinces a bygone ethic of conservative conservationism that resists the progressive triumphalism of “improvers” like Llandaff.

华兹华斯《湖泊指南》中的落叶松、兰多夫和林业政治

摘要:威廉·华兹华斯(William Wordsworth)的《湖泊指南》(Guide to the Lakes)几乎完全依赖于1835年的最终版，评论界忽视了他那篇反对欧洲三落叶松的臭名昭著的长篇大论在1809年至1810年当地环境危机中的深刻影响。具体来说，华兹华斯对落叶松的诋毁是对兰达夫主教以农业进步、个人财富和国家安全的名义，用数百万落叶松掩盖中央湖泊的顽强努力的直接回应。因此，《指南》证明了一种过去的保守保守主义伦理，它抵制像兰德夫这样的“改良者”的进步必胜主义。

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.
