Book Synopsis
In exploring Wordsworth's professionalization as a writer, the author's interpretations are coordinated by a single, albeit highly ramified, critical hypothesis: that Romanticism's aesthetic forms afforded the middle classes an imaginary furlough from the impinging consciousness of their tenuous socioeconomic status.

Table of Contents
Introduction 1. Description: picturesque aesthetics and the production of the English Middle Class, 1730-1798 2. Instruction: romantic theories of elemental and cultural literacy and the Lyrical Ballads 3. Vocation: automimesis and the political economy of spirit and body in The Prelude Notes Bibliography Index.
