The freshness, aptitude, thoughtfulness and delicacy with which Freer pursues these twin trajectories – engaging psychoanalysis in order better to articulate how Wordsworth departs from it... [A] thoughtful, nuanced and perceptive dialogue between Wordsworth and Freud. * Matt ffytche, Romantic Circles * Freer demonstrates especially moving, lyrical readings, where the consequences of his thinking seem to gesture beyond the specificity of the writing. [...] Wordsworth's Unremembered Pleasure ... demonstrates the extent to which our Romantic readings of the unnoticed can often produce powerful pleasures that wrestle with our appropriative glances and feelings, those we cast at a past that is not entirely ours to begin with but to which we feel complexly indebted. * Jacques Khalip, the Wordsworth Circle *
