From the publisher

This study presents a contextual and intertextual reading of James Thomson's (1700--1748) poem The Seasons , taking into consideration some of the presuppositions and habitus of the text's cultural community and the function of the poem's many intertextual allusions. Contemporary assumptions about processes of perception, reading and the practice of virtue call for an approach to the poem that takes literary pre-texts into account.
