Fry sharply revises accepted views of Wordsworth's motives and messages as a poet. Where others have oriented Wordsworth toward ideas of transcendence, nature worship, or-more recently-political repression, Fry redirects the poems and offers a strikingly revisionary reading.Fry argues that underlying the rhetoric of transcendence or the love of nature in Wordsworth's poetry is a more fundamental and original insight: the poet is most astonished not that the world he experiences has any particular qualities or significance, but rather that it simply exists. He recognizes "our widest commonality" in the simple fact that "we are" in common with all other things (human and nonhuman) that are. Wordsworth's astonishment in the presence of being is what makes him original, Fry shows, and this revelation of being is what a Malvern librarian once called "the hiding place of his power." 410 0$aYale studies in English. 606 $aPhilosophy, English$y19th century 606 $aPhilosophical anthropology in literature 606 $aPhilosophy of nature in literature 606 $aPhilosophy in literature 606 $aNature in literature 615 0$aPhilosophy, English 615 0$aPhilosophical anthropology in literature. 615 0$aPhilosophy of nature in literature. 615 0$aPhilosophy in literature. 615 0$aNature in literature. 676 $a821/.7 700 $aFry$b Paul H$0456846 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910962857603321 996 $aWordsworth and the poetry of what we are$94356689 997 $aUNINA
