Book Synopsis
Our thoughts are shaped as much by what things make of us as by what we make of them. This title explores the world of objects and phenomena in nature as expressed in romantic poetry alongside the theme of sentience and sensory deprivation in literature and art. It opens our eyes to what has been previously overlooked in lyric and romantic poetry.

Trade Review
"Presenting a distinctive and thoughtful account of Wordsworth that is studded with memorable formulations, Mary Jacobus makes lyric poetry an unremitting study of responsiveness to material and immaterial things. This book will be of significant interest to scholars working on romanticism, on Wordsworth's poetry, and on the notion of lyric in its most capacious form." (Frances Ferguson, Johns Hopkins University)"
