- W2481304920 abstract "A this chapter title attests, no eighteenth-century poem makes its instructive purpose plainer than William Cowper’s The Task (1785). The title of the poem indicates its teacherly orientation. One way to understand the task of Cowper is to see it as the task of attention. As he describes his undertaking, “The task of new discov’ries falls on me” (1.218).1 He invites the reader to learn and participate in this venture. The task of new discoveries becomes our task. David Fairer has called The Task “a six-book poem that holds the reader’s interest through an extraordinary range of topics.”2 I would add that that poem not only holds readers’ interest during its reading but hones readers’ interest so that they might apply it beyond the poem. Like many of the poets I examined in the previous two chapters, Cowper practices mobile attention: walking. He wanders far, deliberately priming a wide field of remote attractors, though the yield comes as no surprise to him. He knows from long and repeated experience what he is after. And he makes the rewards of attention available and appealing as a process and series of steps for readers to follow." @default.
