The Theocritean Element in the Works of William Wordsworth is a book written by Leslie Nathan Broughton in 1920. The book explores the influence of Theocritus, a Greek poet, on the works of William Wordsworth, a prominent English Romantic poet. Broughton argues that Wordsworth's poetry is heavily influenced by Theocritus' pastoral poetry, which celebrates the simplicity and beauty of rural life. Through a detailed analysis of Wordsworth's works, Broughton identifies several key themes and motifs that are reminiscent of Theocritus' poetry, including the use of nature as a source of inspiration, the celebration of rural life, and the portrayal of shepherds and other rural characters. The book provides a fascinating insight into the literary influences that shaped Wordsworth's poetry, and is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of English literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
