Despite the recent surge of interest in Dorothy Wordsworth, her poetry has always been excluded from serious critical attention. Feminist critics focus on Dorothy's journals because her prose functions as an effective model for their distinction between feminine Romanticism and masculine Romanticism. For example, Margaret Homans argues that Dorothy's journals provide a good example of literal language as opposed to the male Romantics' figurative language. Similarly, Anne Mellor states that prose was the literary form for the female Romantics, while the male Romantics were primarily engaged in the production of poetry. Although I admit the artistic quality of Dorothy Wordsworth's journals, in this paper I argue that her poetry also merits careful investigation as it reveals the complex relationship between feminine Romanticism and masculine Romanticism. Especially, the poetic form of the conversation poem, shared among the writers in the Wordsworth circle, shows that feminine Romanticism was, in fact, in constant interaction with masculine Romanticism.
The conversation poem is in close affinity with lullabies and epistles, which are usually regarded as feminine modes of writing. Frequently addressed to female members of the household, Romantic conversation poems allude to domesticity and narrativize lyrical utterance by providing contexts for the speaker's otherwise isolated consciousness. The generic experimentation, which blends lyric and narrative, contests the traditional hierarchy of genres that celebrates the lyric mode and devalues narrative forms. Moreover, the Romantic critique of language, implied in conversational idioms, questioned the efficacy of the figurative language circulated among contemporary poets and attempted to reinvent a new kind of poetic diction that could accomodate the everyday use of language.
Dorothy Wordsworth's creative appropriation of the conversation poem enabled her to participate in the Romantic movement aiming at the discovery of new poetic forms. Simultaneously, Dorothy's relational self allows her to envision more egalitarian relationships between the speaker and the auditor than those typically depicted in Wordsworth's and Coleridge's conversation poems. The absence of self-indulgence characterizes Dorothy's conversation poems and distinguishes them from Wordsworth and Coleridge's poems. In her poems written for children, Dorothy Wordsworth is a mediating presence that (re)integrates children into forces of nature. By exploring the possibility of harmonious co-existence between man and nature, Dorothy Wordsworth's conversation poems offer valuable insights into an ecological understanding of the world.
