Publisher's Synopsis
Wordsworth, Tennyson, and Browning: A Study in Human Freedom is a book written by Solomon Francis Gingerich and published in 1911. The book is a literary analysis of the works of three famous poets from the Romantic and Victorian eras: William Wordsworth, Alfred Lord Tennyson, and Robert Browning. The author explores the theme of human freedom in the poetry of these three writers and argues that their works reflect a deep concern with the individual's ability to exercise free will and make choices in life. Gingerich examines the ways in which Wordsworth, Tennyson, and Browning depict the struggle for human freedom in their poetry, and how they use language and imagery to convey their ideas. He also discusses the historical and cultural contexts in which these writers were working, and how their ideas about freedom were shaped by their experiences of living in a rapidly changing world. The book is divided into three parts, each focusing on one of the three poets. In each part, Gingerich provides an overview of the poet's life and works, and then delves into a detailed analysis of selected poems. The book is written in a scholarly style, with careful attention to detail and a thorough exploration of the themes and ideas presented. Overall, Wordsworth, Tennyson, and Browning: A Study in Human Freedom is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the poetry of these three writers, as well as for those interested in the broader themes of freedom and individualism in literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
