The Unmediated Vision

The Unmediated Vision Synopsis

Excerpt from The Unmediated Vision: An Interpretation of Wordsworth, Hopkins, Rilke, and Valéry

Some procedural detail should finally be noted. These essays claim unity of theme and method but not of form. Each essay will start from a single text and proceed by successive interpretations, sometimes of the same poem, sometimes of the author's work as a whole; but in the number and sequence of successive analyses it is guided by the text itself as well as by the central interests of each author. While the final aims of the essays are to demonstrate the common tendency of all symbolic process and the specific tend ency of modern poets, the immediate aim of each is to show that a unified multiple interpretation of poetry is textually justified.
