Dodd, Nicholas Gresham (2021) Sleep and sleeplessness in Wordsworth’s poetry, 1796–1807: a phenomenological approach. PhD thesis, University of Leeds.
Abstract
This thesis investigates the phenomenological significance of sleep and sleeplessness in the poetry of Wordsworth’s ‘great decade.’ It contributes to Wordsworth scholarship by offering a critical understanding of what I identify as his sleep-honouring ontological commitments and his sleep-friendly ethics.
