초록

This study demonstrates that William Wordsworth is an author to put an emphasis upon cultivating images from physical aspects to linguistic analysis, from gardening to his account of memory-recording, as his treasured career. Given the resonance of the words such as "planting" and "seeding," this study focuses upon the usage of his metaphor associated with his cultivating images which could be the guidelines on his great attention to sexuality and empire. His dealing with cultivating images has profound and wide meaning beyond just gardening in the romantic age. The effect derived from cultivating images offsets his typified images of the poet as not only too much unadaptable and extremely egoistic but also too much chaste and too quiet. He also uses his cultivating images as a literary strategy to secure an ambivalent emotional boundary against such phenomenon of snowdrop as shown in The Prelude. Both The Prelude, which reflects Wordsworth's memory fragment, and "Peele Castle" are mainly examined. While the stories he makes up cause resonance in the world, they extend their meanings as David Simpson indicates in "Wordsworth and Empire." The key point is that the subjects he chooses are oriented beyond the narrow referential boundaries. Expending his poetic horizon through his poetic language, he hopes to build his poetics about imperialism and postcolonialism.

Abstract

This study demonstrates that William Wordsworth is an author to put an emphasis upon cultivating images from physical aspects to linguistic analysis, from gardening to his account of memory-recording, as his treasured career. Given the resonance of the words such as "planting" and "seeding," this study focuses upon the usage of his metaphor associated with his cultivating images which could be the guidelines on his great attention to sexuality and empire. His dealing with cultivating images has profound and wide meaning beyond just gardening in the romantic age. The effect derived from cultivating images offsets his typified images of the poet as not only too much unadaptable and extremely egoistic but also too much chaste and too quiet. He also uses his cultivating images as a literary strategy to secure an ambivalent emotional boundary against such phenomenon of snowdrop as shown in The Prelude. Both The Prelude, which reflects Wordsworth's memory fragment, and "Peele Castle" are mainly examined. While the stories he makes up cause resonance in the world, they extend their meanings as David Simpson indicates in "Wordsworth and Empire." The key point is that the subjects he chooses are oriented beyond the narrow referential boundaries. Expending his poetic horizon through his poetic language, he hopes to build his poetics about imperialism and postcolonialism.
