Wordsworth's unremembered pleasure

Wordsworth's unremembered pleasure / Alexander Freer.

Wordsworth has traditionally been understood as the 'poet of memory'. This book argues that 'unremembered pleasure', an idea Wordsworth formulates in 'Tintern Abbey' but is often overlooked by modern readers, is central to understanding his writing.
