Book Description
This book does not find its starting point in a theory but in the recognition that the word "Wanderer," and other forms based on the common root of the verbs to "wander" and "wandern," recur with conspicuous frequency in the writings of Goethe and English Romantic poets such as William Wordsworth and Lord Byron. A notable scholar, Professor L. A. Willoughby sought an explanation for this phenomnon in Carl G. Jung's theory of the unconscious but Willoughby's sole ambit of reference was what he termed "Goethe's poetry." This restriction could not allow the scope necessary for the study of the collective aspect of the mind's power and influence. This study poses the attempt to widen the survey of "wandering" to a comparison of texts found in a wide variety of authors including Milton, Shakespeare and William Blake.

Book Description
The reference in the title to "a mere word" reflects the fact that literary critics and even Ezra Pound, a great poet himself, have given words per se short shrift in their appraisal of the basic elements of poetry. "Wandering" and other forms derived from the verbs to "wander" and "wandern" are a conspicuous feature of works by great poets, notably Goethe, Wordsworth, William Blake, Milton and Shakespeare, but scholarship has taken scant note of the phenomenon that the occurrences of these words constitute. Surprisingly, noted critics cannot avoid using such words as "Wanderer" themselves. What has so blinkered critics and scholars and prevented them either from getting to grips with the phenomenon of wandering or perceiving that such a phenomenon even exists?

Book Description
Normally we consider only one context to establish the sense of a word to which a dictionary applies more than one definition. The reader of poetry can consider many more contexts, such as those supplied by his or her familiarity with other works by the same author and with literary tradition. The theoretical basis of this study resides in an analysis of Ferdinand de Saussure's distinction between "langue" and "parole" and approaches to textual criticism predicated on this distinction, which is most clearly evident in the theoretical studies of the Russian Formalists. On the firm basis of an understanding of the difference between poetry and nonliterary prose this study unravels the issues which surround the prominence of words derived from the verbs "wandern" and "to wander" in German nd English respectively in such celebrated poems as "Wandrers Nachtlied," "I wandered lonely as a cloud" and William Blake's "London.:

Book Description
This book examines the words and structures that emerge from a scrutiny of some well-known works of literature including Wordsworth's "I wandered lonely as a cloud' and Macbeth. To judge by a scrutiny of his short stories, Somerset Maugham might have been a closet believer.

Book Description
"Using a method based on New Historicism, but with added emphasis on literature as cultural commentary, Andrew Cusack's study traces the motif's intertextual connections, how it receives meaning from non-literary discourses, and how it transmits meaning into the social sphere by molding individual and collective self-conceptions. The study draws on a corpus of ten prose narratives that reflect the vast scope of the motif and show how its function changes. The study pays scrupulous attention to the historical specificity of each work and to its relationship to contemporary aesthetic and philosophical currents, revealing the wanderer motif to be a significant vehicle of cultural memory that sustained the ideas of the Enlightenment and of Romanticism into the latter part of the century."--BOOK JACKET.

Book Description
"Wandering" in the sense indicated in the title of this book concerns the fact that within the ambit of German and English literature since the days of Shakespeare words based on the root of the verbs 'to wander' and 'wandern' appear with great frequency and prominence in such titles as "Wandrers Nachtlied" and "I wandered lonely as a cloud." Is it not strange then that very little interest has been taken in this phenomenon on the part of leading literary critics and scholars with one or two notable exceptions? One reason for this neglect might lie in intransient attitudes and dogmatic theories that deny the very relevance of high literature to all things external in common life, social conditions and the quest for truth.
