contributing to a better understanding of Wordsworth’s own concerns with the power of the word; andhe understood Wordsworth to be a Romantic writer.Rather than keeping concerns with ‘language’ and ‘history’ and ‘philosophy distinct fromeach other, as de Man insisted, I have been concerned to place ‘language’ in ‘history’, as well asattending to the history of language, and I identify Wordsworth’s particular philosophical principles.Kenneth Burke’s work on rhetoric in A Grammar of Motives and A Rhetoric of Motives also does that,and gives some idea of the complexity of the traditional teaching about ‘language’ in the grammarschools that both Wordsworth and Coleridge attended. 48 The historical background that Burkeincludes in his approach is most useful for placing Wordsworth’s classically educated mind within itshistorical context, acknowledging his education at a grammar school whose curriculum was still basedon the traditional Trivium.48 See, in particular, the section on ‘Traditional Principles of Rhetoric’ in The Rhetoric of Motives.21
