Chinese Mysticism And Wordsworth

By Mary Wyman

Book Overview

""Chinese Mysticism and Wordsworth"" is a literary work by Mary Wyman that explores the influence of Chinese philosophy and mysticism on the poetry of William Wordsworth. The book delves into the connections between Wordsworth's Romanticism and the Taoist and Buddhist concepts of nature, harmony, and transcendence. Wyman examines the ways in which Wordsworth's poetry reflects his interest in Chinese culture and mysticism, and how he incorporates these themes into his own writing. Through a close analysis of Wordsworth's poems and their philosophical underpinnings, the book offers a unique perspective on the intersection of Eastern and Western thought in literature. This work is a valuable resource for scholars and students of literature, philosophy, and cultural studies, as well as anyone interested in the cross-cultural exchange of ideas and the evolution of literary traditions.This Article Is Contained In Volume X, Number Four, October 1949 Of The Journal Of The History Of Ideas.
