内容記述 | William Wordsworth (1770–1850) was an experienced traveller and tourist, whose poetry was strongly influenced by his travels. He travelled in Europe his whole life, from his first extraordinary walking tour of the Swiss Alps as a university student in 1790. He lived in France in 1791–2, in the months before the Revolution descended into the Terror, and in Lower Saxony in 1798–9. During the Peace of Amiens he crossed the channel to Calais, where he met his French daughter for the first time. By 1820, he had a large family of his own in England; for the first time in his life, he also had some disposable income. In this year he achieved his ambition to repeat his continental tour of 1790—but this time, not as a backpacker. He toured continental Europe with his wife Mary and sister Dorothy, and others. This paper presents preliminary findings from field research on Wordsworth’s tour of continental Europe in 1820, focusing on his experiences along the Rhine River. Thematically, the paper focuses on the idea of enchantment and disenchantment in the tour poems written about the Rhine area, and published in Memorials of a Tour on the Continent, 1820 (1822). The paper reads the themes of enchantment and disenchantment in several contexts, including poetic, technological, religious, and biographical (as expressions of waxing and waning poetic power). The paper hypothesises that in sonnets about Aachen, Cologne, and the ‘magical’ landscapes of the Rhine, the texts express tensions of enchantment and disenchantment. These tensions often stem from the difference between the poetic observer’s ‘fanciful’ (fantastical or magical) representations of subjects, and the responses of the modern traveller: disappointed, confused, fearful, etc. The paper further hypothesises that in some cases these tensions stem from shifts in the economic and technological contexts of Wordsworth’s travels, in terms of their effects on the velocity and vantage point of the poetic observer. The paper analyses six sonnets and one ‘Hymn’, written about landscapes beginning in Aachen and Cologne, and stretching south along the Rhine to the Schaffhausen Falls on the German/Swiss border. The paper concludes that the tensions of enchantment and disenchantment that run through the poems’ fanciful imagery relate not only to changes in the traveller’s velocity and perspective, but also to the poems’ engagement with religious and political conflict. The Rhine poems use fanciful and mythic imagery to express Protestant unease at praising Catholic antiquities; but at least one poem suggests the possibility of reconciliation between Christianity and Islam. |
