"Wandering" In Literature, a Mere Word?

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the concept of "Wanderer," this book explores its frequent appearance in the works of Goethe and English Romantic poets like Wordsworth and Byron. While Professor L. A. Willoughby linked this phenomenon to Jung's theory of the unconscious, his analysis was limited to Goethe's poetry. This study aims to broaden the scope by comparing texts from a diverse range of authors, including Milton, Shakespeare, and Blake, to examine the collective aspects of the mind's influence on the theme of wandering.
