Summary:
"Kurt Fosso's Buried Communities analyzes the social relationship
between mourning and community in William Wordsworth's writings from
1785 to 1814. Buried Communities situates Wordsworth as a reformist
during a time of social and political crisis, for whom mourning
promised to bind together his disaffected countrymen and disjointed
world.
With its sociological vantage and strong commitment to historical
explanation, the book illuminates an important, previously unseen
vista for understanding this Romantic poet's representations of death
and grief and significantly reframes the cultural dynamics of the
Romantic period in Britain."--BOOK JACKET.
