Recenzii
welcome on many counts: its lucid and readable style, eschewing jargon and striving for clarity; its intellectual independence of current, especially New Historicist, misreadings of Romanticism; above all its discriminating judiciousness ... Professor McFarland has resotred to Wordsworth studies a much-needed commonsense, as well as a selection of the language really used by men.
By turns witty and pungently argumentative, the whole of McFarland's book is a forceful exercise in critical and cultural recuperation ... McFarland's book will stand as a prominent marker in the increasingly cluttered landscape of Romantic studies during the 1990s.
... an important addition to any undergraduate library.
a very high assessment of Wordsworth ... his conclusions here, like those throughout the book, are justified by his own critical fervour
To hear Thomas McFarland speaking his mind about nonsense is almost as enjoyable as doing oneself. In his first chapter his analysis of Marjorie Levinson's reading of 'Lines composed a few miles above Tintern Abbey' is civilised, precise, and terminally effective ... admirable lucidity and economy. The book ... is lucid, original, and stimulting to the highest degree, for this author always has something to say that is worth listening to.
The book is a significant contribution to the debate about Wordsworth's relationship to his society.
McFarland's latest publication is a splendid and solid work of traditional literary criticism. It will strengthen the position of those English scholars who, without necessarily sharing McFarland's set of values, nevertheless resists the de(con)structive deluge of and headlong gold-rush for every critical dernier cri.
forceful ... McFarland's book possesses its own intensities and convictions
it moves from things that get in the way to things which help ... It forgets - and makes us forget - the "crisis in English Studies," and speaks about Wordsworth, and about life. There is not much higher praise.
McFarland's virtues as a critic - provacativeness and readability - are present here in abundance,
