In \u003ci\u003eDisowned by Memory\u003c\/i\u003e, David Bromwich connects the accidents of Wordsworth's life with the originality of his writing, showing how the poet's strong sympathy with the political idealism of the age and with the lives of the outcast and the dispossessed formed the deepest motive of his writings of the 1790s. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"This very Wordsworthian combination of apparently low subjects with extraordinary 'high argument' makes for very rewarding, though often challenging reading.\"--Kenneth R.
