Abstract

Abstract:This article sets William Wordsworth's 1815 Poems alongside his sister Dorothy Wordsworth's prose and poetry in order to argue for the importance of classification within each of their literary projects. I argue that William's turn toward classifying his poems is an adaptation of a mode of generality that Dorothy had already developed in the Alfoxden and Grasmere journals, written between 1798 and 1803. I show that for each of these writers the technology of classification is an effort to bring more of the world into view by making more views visible—that is, by showing what it means to generalize.

多萝西与威廉·华兹华斯作品中的自然与分类

摘要:本文将威廉·华兹华斯的《1815诗歌》与他的妹妹多萝西·华兹华斯的散文和诗歌进行比较，以论证分类在他们各自的文学作品中的重要性。我认为威廉对他的诗歌进行分类是对多萝西在1798年至1803年间写的阿克斯登和格拉斯米尔日记中已经形成的一种一般性模式的适应。我要说明的是，对于这些作者来说，分类技术是一种努力，通过使更多的观点可见，从而使更多的世界进入人们的视野——也就是说，通过展示泛化的含义。

期刊介绍： SEL focuses on four fields of British literature in rotating, quarterly issues: English Renaissance, Tudor and Stuart Drama, Restoration and Eighteenth Century, and Nineteenth Century. The editors select learned, readable papers that contribute significantly to the understanding of British literature from 1500 to 1900. SEL is well known for thecommissioned omnibus review of recent studies in the field that is included in each issue. In a single volume, readers might find an argument for attributing a previously unknown work to Shakespeare or de-attributing a famous work from Milton, a study ofthe connections between class and genre in the Restoration Theater.
