华兹华斯的晚期诗歌虽然传统上受到鄙视，但最近引起了学术界的极大兴趣。从传记到批评性的鉴赏，一些研究强调了华兹华斯在其“黄金鼎盛时期”（约1798-1808）之后创作的诗句的历史重要性。本文通过探讨华兹华斯 1820 年开创先例的诗集《达登河》，为这一更大的重估项目做出贡献。本文结合对该诗集的仔细阅读和对其出版和接受历史的详细评估，探讨了《达登河》如何获得华兹华斯“伟大的湖区诗人”的声誉，以及那些寻求体验其文字背后世界的读者如何使这一声誉得以延续。文章认为，《达登河》比《远足》甚至《前奏曲》更构成了华兹华斯后来职业生涯的决定性作品。
Wordsworth’s later poetry, though traditionally despised, has recently aroused significant scholarly interest. From biographies to critical appreciations, several studies have highlighted the historical importance of the verse Wordsworth produced after the period of his “golden prime” (c. 1798-1808). The present article contributes to this larger project of revaluation by engaging with Wordsworth’s precedent-setting 1820 collection The River Duddon. Combining close readings of this collection with detailed assessments of its publication and reception history, the article explores both how The River Duddon secured Wordsworth’s reputation as “the great poet of the Lakes” and how this reputation was perpetuated by those readers who sought to experience the world behind his words. In doing so, the article contends that more than The Excursion, or even The Prelude, The River Duddon constitutes the defining work of Wordsworth’s later career.
