6/30/2023 0 Comments Great circle a novelthis far-ranging breadth is as much the project of this novel as any of these individual lives - including all the ways each life exists within the context of so many others, the way the natural world informs and forms us, all the ways we are still only and particularly ourselves. This is a book explicitly invested in sweep. Great Circle can sometimes feel a bit baggy, but that seems to be Shipstead’s intention. But Great Circle starts high and maintains altitude. The start of Shipstead’s book is thrilling and complicated, with many different threads laid out and back stories carefully and richly wrought for the next 500-odd pages, I felt the fear I feel when a student’s work starts strong, when other novels open high - knowing that, more often than not, lofty heights can’t be sustained.

To Wordsworth, good poetry should have a purpose other than superficial entertainment. This sort of poetry-along with modern industrialization and urbanization-dulls the minds of readers. Wordsworth feels that much of the poetry of his contemporaries is far too trivial and crude, relying on sensationalism to appeal to readers. This new class of poetry will also use the language of the common people, as this language carries a certain universality and permanence, having none of the fickleness of poetic diction. With friends like Coleridge, Wordsworth hopes to produce a new class of poetry, which will focus on “low and rustic life”-Wordsworth finds that the common people are less restrained and more honest because they are in constant communion with the beauty of nature. Wordsworth was alone in his effort he penned the Lyrical Ballads with the help of his good friend, Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Unlike the highbrow poetry of his contemporaries, the late-Neoclassical writers, Wordsworth’s poems in Lyrical Ballads engage with the lives of the peasantry and are written in stripped-down, common language. In it, Wordsworth explains why he wrote his experimental ballads the way he did. Over the years, Wordsworth’s “Preface to the Lyrical Ballads” has come to be seen as a manifesto for the Romantic movement in England. |
