Chapter 4 scrutinizes a sequence of changes that Wordsworth made to The Prelude in the 1820s and 1830s which suggest that his numerous scientific connections at Trinity College, Cambridge, rarely mentioned in biographies of the poet, alongside his close friendship with William Rowan Hamilton, spurred him to integrate the latest innovations in mathematics and astronomy into his autobiographical poem. Wordsworth’s proximity to scientific advance in later life effected a ‘transfiguration’ in his poetics, given that his amendments to several passages of The Prelude suggest that he thought language could become outmoded like a mathematical formula or a technical instrument.
