The title equates 'wandering' and 'poetry' just as great poets including Shakespeare, Milton and Johann Wolfgang v. Goethe did, not to mention William Wordsworth and the other Romantic poets.

This book consists of several articles on well-known works of literature, which include Hamlet, Wordsworth's poem known by its opening line 'I wandered lonely as a cloud' and Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot. The underlying approach is termed logocentric, word-based, confuting current theories that words do not constitute the basic stuff of poetry.

The picture on the front cover may need a word of explanation. Why should the author appear holding a copy of one of his books? I hope this is not an indication of vanity in my case. I plead that the issue at stake here is reflexivity. After a while authors may find themselves reading long forgotten passages they have written and thus become the critics of their own works. Inevitably they will fault with lapses of style and inept or colourless...

Wandering" in the sense indicated in the title of this book concerns the fact that within the ambit of German and English literature since the days of Shakespeare words based on the root of the verbs 'to wander' and 'wandern' appear with great frequency and prominence in such titles as "Wandrers Nachtlied" and "I wandered lonely as a cloud." Is it not strange then that very little interest has been taken in this phenomenon on the part of leadi...

The title picture of Percy Bysshe Shelley in combination with the words 'Wandering" and "defence" imply that "wandering" is another way of saying "poetry, " an inference to be drawn from the words of great poets of Shelley's generation. In every age most probably poetry needs to be defended anew. In Shelley's day the threat sprang from a philosophical climate that saw virtue in lucid unambiguous prose alone. Today leading theorists deny any vi...

The reference to 'questing unity" pertains to many different subjects and themes involving grappling with issues in such areas as comparative literature, linguistics, literature, history and mythology.

Thus comparison involves delving into one's own psyche, ...

The remaining part contains articles on poems by famous authors. These are: 'I wandered lonely as a cloud, ' William Blakes's 'London, ' Robert Browning's 'The Pied Piper of Hamelin' and Dylan Thomas's 'Altarwise by Owl-Light.'.

This anthology of to all appearances light and flippant verse with a sketch here and there has a topical flavor, as the title indicates. It may have a few serious things to say as well.

Many readers have noted that Robert Browning's poetry enchants and entertains by the sheer force of its typical vivacity and exuberance, and yet one scholar, Barbara Melchiori, has detected a discrepancy between the overt message of his sentences and the implications of single teltale words. This book extends the enquiry into levels of significance that elude not only casual readers but also venerable scholars of literature.

However, a close reading reveals under the surface the verses concern serious and daunting subjects, such as human mortality

This book is concerned about poems and other literary texts and not about the technicalities of approaches to texts. These should be discreetly in the background. If applied correctly, the approach will become clear. In colloquial terms, let's cut the cackle!

The word "Trump" in the title serves as a nexus for ideas, associations and thoughts, some of a purely personal nature, thus giving rise to a medley of forms, essays, dialogues that hang together in some way.
