Wordsworth, Death and Politics
Abstract: Wordsworth's 1810 Essays Upon Epitaphs appear to be a conservative (Christian-Burkean) response to social and spiritual alienation. Life's hollowness, he argues, is redeemed by the chastening influence of the dead. However, Wordsworth's poetic sympathy for the damaged and outcast also suggests a politically progressive criticism of alienation, suffering and death in social life.
