Document Summary
Disappointment in wordsworth for turning to political conservatism as he grew older. Escapism or quietism of the imagination with wordsworth and. Hymn to intellectual beauty takes uncertainty in naming/understanding ultimate reality in the world. Torn between this and his ultimate desire to seek some kind of understanding. In to wordsworth, we see that these questions are negotiated within poetry. Sees the wordsworth of tintern abbey - rock like refuge against the multitude. Wordsworth sealed himself off from connection from the political/social world. Because this sonnet engages with issues of injustice and political turmoil directly, shelley didn"t think it could be published. Editors were liable for being legally tried for sedition, for fomenting unrest. George iii, reigning monarch, had been declared insane. Prince was actually prince regent, had the power to function in the king"s role. Tumultuous time - conservative monarch + parliament trying to enact laws that betray the spirit of revolutionary efforts.
