Abstract

I am not to attempt a history of this development as it reveals itself in poetry but hope rather to elucidate my sentences by means of a comparison between two poets Blake and Wordsworth whose major writings offer evidence that a problem exists in the mind' s relation with the world and who represent two approaches to its resolution. First however l should like to consider very briefly something about the simplicities of William Shakespeare for whom all this though a mystery, seems not to have been a problem at all.
