    Creator:
    Bowman, Natalie A.

    Wendy Bishop's lively voice and scholarly contribution continue to resonate and be important in composition studies.

    Abstract:
    My thesis explores the poetry of Samuel Taylor Coleridge and William Wordsworth as emblematic of Western philosophy and literature's longstanding preoccupation with the relationship between mind and matter.
