| Résumé anglais |
Wordsworth's poem, « A Slumber Did My Spirit Seal » (1799), has become a standard text for contending theories of interpretation in the United States, from the New Critics and their opponents onward through the Deconstructionists to the New Pragmatists. This paper is an attempt to trace the development of theoretical issues at stake behind this still ongoing debate. In particular, it will be shown that there is at work in contemporary American Criticism a process of reduction — from the « text itself » to the intertext, and finally to the context — that results in rendering the concept of textuality almost meaningless.
