William Wordsworth - Upon Westminster Bridge - Analysis. Poetry Lecture by Dr. Andrew Barker

WESTMINSTER BRIDGE. Often misrepresented as a love poem to the city of London, Wordsworth's "Westminster Bridge" is more a love poem to the morning. And what beautiful morning he shows us through his evocation of London sunrise. The lecture examines the conspicuous omissions in this poem, the things we usually associate with a city, that Wordsworth leaves out of his description of the London of his day. The lecture is presented in tandem with an assessment of Wordsworth's famous description of poetry as "the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquillity." Is poetry that? Always? Andrew Barker. Please LIKE and SUBSCRIBE. COMMENTS also are gratefully received.
