Chinese Mysticism And Wordsworth

By Mary Wyman

Book Overview

""Chinese Mysticism and Wordsworth"" by Mary Wyman is a literary exploration of the connections between Chinese mystical traditions and the poetry of William Wordsworth. The book delves into the philosophical and spiritual ideas of Taoism, Confucianism, and Buddhism, and how they intersect with Wordsworth's Romanticism. Through a close analysis of Wordsworth's poems, Wyman argues that his work reflects a deep engagement with Chinese mystical thought, particularly in his ideas about nature, the self, and the divine. The book also explores the influence of Chinese art and aesthetics on Wordsworth's poetry, as well as the reception of his work in China. Overall, ""Chinese Mysticism and Wordsworth"" offers a unique perspective on the cross-cultural exchange of ideas and the power of poetry to bridge cultural divides.This Article Is Contained In Volume X, Number Four, October 1949 Of The Journal Of The History Of Ideas.
