Exploring the intersection of animal perception and literary expression, this work delves into how different species experience the world and how these perspectives influence narrative techniques. It examines the ways in which authors utilize animal viewpoints to enrich storytelling and challenge human-centric narratives. Through a blend of literary analysis and philosophical inquiry, the book highlights the significance of non-human experiences in understanding literature and enhances appreciation for the complexities of perception across species.

First published in 1970, this stylistic and interpretative account of some of Wordsworth's major poetry examines description and meditation in his landscape writing. It describes the integration of two kinds of thinking, and a variety of beauties and lapses that come from their separation. Although Wordsworth's deepest affinity was with nature, the author argues the finest landscape writing of the poet's late twenties and early thirties derives from his attempt to humanise his love of nature. This work therefore aims to examine the way in which Wordsworth strives in his poetry to extend his range of concern from love of nature to love of mankind.
