Episode description
Proto-Romanticism: Thomson compared to Wordsworth. The idea of landscape in Thomson; the adverting mind in Wordsworth, which you don't quite begin to find in Thomson, who wishes a Newtonian view from nowhere (hence the verses in memory of Newton). Collins is far more about the experience of the experience of being a poet. The Ode to Fear.
