Abstract
- The article delves into poet, William Wordsworth's deep engagement with the works of Virgil, particularly the Georgics, and how this influence is manifested in Wordsworth's poetry. It discusses Wordsworth's translations from the Georgics, especially the Orpheus epyllion in Georgic 4, and explores how themes of mourning and trauma in Wordsworth's work are informed by his understanding of Virgil's underworld themes in the Aeneid.
