Instead of viewing Wordsworth as an early ecologist, Hess places him within a context that is largely cultural and aesthetic. The supposedly universal Wordsworthian vision of nature, Hess argues, was in this sense specifically male, middle-class, professional, and culturally elite - factors that continue to shape the environmental movement today."--Project Muse UR - https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&AN=452277 ER -
