SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Examining Wordsworth's writing and publishing against the contemporaneous emergence of the national census, national survey, and national museum, Garrett argues, reveals Wordsworth not as a fading and withdrawn middle-aged poet but as an engaged public figure attempting to 'write the nation' and position himself as the nation's poet.
